What is BlaBlaMeter?
BlaBlaMeter automatically analyses German-language texts for hollow phrases, filler words and empty buzzwords. The result is a numerical blabla index showing how much substanceless content the analysed text contains. The evaluation is deliberately humorous, which makes the underlying message more accessible: many texts carry less content than their length suggests.
The tool runs entirely in the browser, requires no registration and is free to use.
Core features
- Blabla index: An automatic score rates the proportion of empty phrases in the submitted text.
- Instant analysis: Paste text, submit, read the result. No setup, no installation.
- Humorous feedback: The evaluation comments on the result with a sarcastic tone, making typical weaknesses tangible.
- No account required: The service works without an account and without storing user data.
Who is BlaBlaMeter for?
Copywriters and editors who want to check press releases, blog posts or marketing copy for clarity get a quick outside perspective on their own writing style. Anyone who tends to pad sentences with management speak will see that reflected back immediately.
Content managers can use the tool as a quick sanity check before publication. For academic texts or texts with specialist terminology, the index is less reliable, as the tool does not consistently distinguish between necessary technical language and genuine hollow phrasing.
BlaBlaMeter does not provide concrete suggestions for improvement. It shows that a problem exists, but does not explain which phrasing would be better.
Context & alternatives
BlaBlaMeter belongs to the category of automated text quality tools. Comparable approaches include the Hemingway Editor (English) and Wortliga (German), both of which also assess readability and sentence complexity, though they provide more specific stylistic guidance.
BlaBlaMeter is more narrowly focused on the German-language market and specifically on the proportion of hollow phrases. Anyone who wants to know whether a text sounds like a corporate brochure gets a direct answer here. Anyone who then wants to know how to improve the text concretely will need an additional tool.
