What counts as a filler word?

This tool checks for 30+ filler words and phrases including: spoken hesitation sounds (um, uh, err), overused adverbs (literally, basically, honestly, obviously), hedging phrases (kind of, sort of, I guess), crutch words (like, right, okay, so, well, just), and corporate filler phrases (at the end of the day, moving forward, circle back).
