Technical Jargon Expander
Docs that assume every reader knows "CI", "RBAC", and "CLS" lose newcomers. This tool scans your text against a curated technical dictionary, flags undefined jargon, and can expand each term inline at first use — all locally.

Introduction
Undefined jargon is a documentation accessibility problem. Expanding each acronym at first use makes docs readable for juniors, translators, and cross-team readers. This tool automates that expansion.
How it works
- Longest-match-first, word-boundary scanning against a local dictionary.
- Counts jargon tokens to compute a density score (per 100 words).
- Optionally inserts the full expansion at each term's first occurrence.
- Generates a glossary of every detected term with its definition.
Privacy
All scanning is local. No upload, no account, no API key.
Limitations
- Finite curated dictionary; unknown terms are not flagged.
- Ambiguous acronyms use the most common technical sense.
FAQ
What is jargon density?
The number of jargon tokens per 100 words. High density means readers need more background knowledge.
