About Cliche Detector
Cliche Detector is used to identify overused phrases and clichés in writing that weaken the impact of the text. It scans the text against a database of common clichés and idiomatic phrases and highlights matches for the writer to review. Clichés signal lazy writing — when you spot one, ask whether the phrase adds meaning or just fills space, and replace it with a specific, concrete alternative. Cliche Detector runs free in your browser at abovetool.com — no signup required.
