Por que as frases longas importam
A run-on sentence occurs when two or more independent clauses are joined incorrectly — usually without punctuation or with just a comma where stronger punctuation is required. Run-ons slow readers down, obscure meaning, and reduce the perceived quality of your writing. Whether you're drafting an email, a blog post, or academic work, clean sentences increase clarity and persuasion.
Readers expect sentences to have clear boundaries. When those boundaries blur, it makes it harder for them to follow your ideas. That’s why a small tool — a Run On Sentence Checker — can save minutes and improve the impact of every paragraph.
Tipos comuns de frases longas
- Fused sentences: Two independent clauses joined with no punctuation. Example: “The meeting ended the team left.”
- Comma splices: Two independent clauses joined only by a comma. Example: “She wrote the report, she forgot to attach it.”
- Overly long sentences: Multiple clauses run together without clear separators — often a sign to split for clarity.
Como funciona a detecção
The checker uses a few lightweight patterns and heuristics that work well for everyday writing:
- Sentence tokenization: Break the text into candidate sentences using punctuation and newline boundaries.
- Comma splice detection: Look for commas that join two independent-looking clauses (two capitalized words or two independent verb phrases).
- Length heuristics: Long sentences with multiple verbs often hide run-ons — the checker flags those for review.
- Confidence scoring: Each flagged item has a confidence level so you know what’s nearly certain vs. what’s worth a human look.
These heuristics are fast and run entirely in the browser, so your text stays private and the checks happen instantly.
Interface e experiência do usuário
A strong UI reduces friction. Key UX features that this page includes or recommends:
- Large editable textarea that accepts pasted text and supports keyboard navigation.
- Inline highlights for flagged sentences with an inline reason tooltip ("comma splice", "long sentence").
- Preview fixes — show two or three alternate corrections the user can preview or apply with one click.
- Non-destructive edits — allow undo and preserve the original so the user remains in control.
- Accessibility — readable colors, focus states, ARIA attributes for screen readers, and keyboard-only flows for applying fixes.
Perguntas comuns e respostas rápidas
- Q: O verificador corrige automaticamente meu texto?
- A: No — it offers suggested fixes and previews so you choose the tone and structure you prefer. Auto-correct can be risky in nuanced writing.
- Q: É preciso para todos os estilos (legal, criativo)?
- A: It’s optimized for general-purpose English. For specialized styles (legal documents, poetry), treat the suggestions as starting points and apply human judgment.
- Q: Meu texto é mantido em sigilo?
- A: By default this tool can run in the browser so your text stays local. If you enable cloud-enhanced checks, you will be informed and can opt out.
