Most of us tried at a point in our lives to write a book or a short story, be it for fun or special occasions. However, when you find yourself composing multi-paged stories, it's difficult to keep track of the used words and expressions.

Approachable and modern layout

A simple and solution to those problems can be SmartEdit Lite that comes bundled lightweight to offer a fast and uncomplicated method to check your documents for mistakes, cliches, repeated terms, and phrases.
The app needs .NET Framework to be installed on the computer and updated to the latest version. The interface adopts a simple ribbon menu, similar with the one Microsoft Word offers, and a neatly organized toolbar.

Open items and search for duplicate records

The app provides limited support for files, handling only RTF and TXT documents. You just need to open the document from the computer, and press the "Run Checks" button. Once the process is complete, you can find out the repeated terms, expressions, cliches and dialogs.

Manage the monitoring list and configure the settings

If you double-click a word from the "Monitored Words" list, the application will jump to its position in the document, so you can replace the term with something else. No font customization is offered, so you are stuck with the default style.
When it comes to program settings, you have the option to disable what criteria should not be employed in the check, like adverb, phrase, cliche, or dialog. Furthermore, you can add an expression or word to the monitored list. Once the search is done, the monitored words are displayed in a list along with the sentence fragments they are extracted from. The output can be saved again after all the modifications were done.

In conclusion

The bottom line is that SmartEdit Lite is a reliable and straightforward application designed to help you efficiently search and spot words and phrases that are repeated in a document and change them with similar ones. It also features a monitoring list.
