BUZZWORD DETECTOR

Last updated: 2026-04-22

Detect AI Jargon and Corporate Speak

Overview

Paste any text and watch buzzwords light up. The detector highlights AI jargon, corporate speak, and overused phrases. Get a "Buzzword Score" (0-100) showing how corporate/artificial your text is. Then optionally "de-buzzify" your text into plain English, removing the jargon and making it clearer and more human.

How to Play

Paste Text: Click the textarea and paste any text (job description, email, website copy, etc.)
Click Analyze: Press "ANALYZE BUZZWORDS" to scan your text
See Highlights: Buzzwords light up in color. Hover to see explanations
Check Your Score: The Buzzword Score appears below the text (0 = pure human, 100 = pure corporate speak)
De-Buzzify (Optional): Click "DE-BUZZIFY" to convert corporate jargon into plain English
Compare: See your text side-by-side in both corporate and human versions

What Counts as a Buzzword

AI Jargon: machine learning, neural network, deep learning, large language model, synergy, paradigm shift

Corporate Speak: leverage, optimize, ecosystem, stakeholder, touch base, circle back, synergy, bandwidth

Empty Modifiers: cutting-edge, world-class, best-in-class, next-generation, disruptive, innovative

Overused Tech Terms: cloud, big data, blockchain, AI, AGI, digital transformation

Understanding Your Score

0-20: Almost no buzzwords. Very human, clear, conversational
21-40: Some corporate language. Mostly human but with professional jargon
41-60: Moderate buzzwords. Typical corporate email or job posting
61-80: Heavy buzzword usage. Very corporate, dense with jargon
81-100: Extremely corporate. Reads like a parody of buzzword-heavy content
