I'm trying to find software that will analyse text and indicate how close repeated words are in the text (perhaps by colour coding). I've spent quite a bit of time searching but have had no luck so far. The text analysis tool on this website is the best I have come across so far but it doesn't quite do what I'm looking for. Obviously many common words can be discarded.
I often write page long summaries and use word clouds to see which words are repeated but I then have to review where in the text they appear. A lot of the time (if the duplicated words are suitably spaced) it doesn't matter but if I have inadvertently repeated the same word in consecutive sentences, for example, I will often want to change one of the instances it's used. Despite spending time re-reading the text I find, too late, that a repeated word has slipped through, which is most annoying.
Any help would be much appreciated.
With thanks ... Dave
