The tool normalizes whitespace, applies tool-specific pattern detection, calculates metrics, and converts the result into a quality score from 0 to 100.
Use the output as a fast editorial check. Human review is still recommended for final academic submission.

Processing details
All processing runs locally in the browser with JavaScript. The page does not need a server-side text upload to calculate results.
