Frequently asked questions
- Does it keep punctuation?
- Words are compared as whitespace-separated tokens, so punctuation attached to a word is treated as part of it. Clean the text first for looser matching.
- Is the word order preserved?
- Yes. The first time each word appears it is kept in place; later repeats are removed.
- Is my text uploaded anywhere?
- No. Everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
