Paragraph Unity Checker

Check whether the sentences in each paragraph appear to support a shared subject. The checker compares meaningful words across sentences, finds low-overlap outliers, and reports paragraph-level cohesion. It is useful for locating abrupt topic shifts or underdeveloped supporting sentences, but it does not assume that lexical repetition is the only form of unity; pronouns and conceptual links may require human judgment.

How to use this text tool

  1. Paste your draft or load a plain-text file.
  2. Choose a review mode if you want a stricter screening pass.
  3. Run the analysis or press Ctrl/Cmd + Enter.
  4. Review every finding in its original context.
  5. Copy the report or download the available TXT, CSV, or JSON file.

What this tool does

Each paragraph receives a cohesion estimate and any sentence with unusually little vocabulary overlap is listed as a possible outlier.

After removing common stop words, the tool compares each sentence vocabulary with the combined vocabulary of the other sentences in its paragraph.

Synonyms and implied connections are not understood. A low score is a prompt to review the transition, not proof that the sentence is irrelevant.

Example

Input: Urban trees reduce summer heat in dense neighborhoods. Their shade lowers surface temperatures on streets and buildings. Tree canopies also slow stormwater runoff. Many residents enjoy mystery novels during winter.

Expected check: The report identifies and organizes the relevant patterns in this sample, with sentence or component details that can be verified against the input.

Use cases

  • Revising essays and research proposals
  • Preparing feedback for writing instruction
  • Auditing reports before peer review
  • Organizing evidence and argument notes

Tips for better output

  • Analyze complete paragraphs when context matters.
  • Review flags instead of replacing text automatically.
  • Keep technical terms that are standard in your field.
  • Compare the report with your assignment or style guide.
  • Verify sources, claims, and inferred relationships manually.

Processing details

Processing occurs locally in the browser with deterministic JavaScript rules. Sentence boundaries, word forms, cue phrases, and labeled fields are analyzed without an external API.

Heuristics cannot fully interpret syntax, meaning, disciplinary conventions, or source credibility. Treat the report as a revision checklist, not a definitive evaluation.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the paragraph unity checker?

It uses transparent rule-based text patterns, so it is useful for screening and revision but cannot replace contextual reading or full linguistic analysis.

Does this tool send my writing to a server?

No. The analysis runs in your browser, although files you later save or share are outside the tool’s control.

Can I use the result in an academic paper?

You can use the report to revise or organize your own work, but verify every classification and follow your institution’s authorship and citation rules.

Why might a sentence be classified incorrectly?

Abbreviations, unusual punctuation, discipline-specific terms, implied relationships, and syntactic ambiguity can all affect heuristic analysis.

What should I do after reviewing the report?

Return to the original passage, inspect each flagged item in context, and make only changes that improve accuracy, clarity, or argumentative structure.
