Reptyler scans the document opened in Microsoft Word and provides user with the list of frequently used phrases, words and wordforms. This information enables you to avoid overusing of certain expressions and cliches in text. Repetyler evaluates phrases irrespective of punctuation marks or spacing : identical word successions are evaluated like identical phrases, regardless of linefeed characters or various comma locations. Program gives you results in the form of sorted list. You can perform your own custom sorting by any column (content, length, frequency).
K-Diff Search performs the search of the specified pattern in the text with not more then K differences. Under single difference the substitution, insertion, or removal of one symbol is implied. As it is not defined precisely to which symbols of the word the above mentioned operations will be applied, the purpose of the search with K differences cannot be solved with built-in search capabilities of Microsoft Word. This search mode will be useful, for example, when the right spelling of the required word is not known or when one looks for a word that contains one or more mistakes/misspellings.
