Frequently Asked Questions
No — it only strips a fixed list of about 6 known wordy filler phrases ("which is to say", "in other words", "that is to say", "as a matter of fact", "for the most part", "in the final analysis") wherever they appear, then collapses the extra spaces left behind. It doesn't rewrite sentences or condense ideas.
Only if your text actually contains those specific filler phrases — most text won't shrink much, since this isn't a general-purpose summarizer or AI rewriting tool.
No — it's a simple fixed find-and-remove pass, with no language model or content understanding involved.
