Abbreviations Extractor for Docs

Find acronyms & build a glossary table for your document automatically

abbreviationsacronymsglossaryexpansionslist of termsextractor
Scan a Google Doc for abbreviations and acronyms, detect their expansions
automatically, and drop a ready-made glossary table at the end of the document.
The tedious "list of terms" job, done in one click.

WHAT IT DOES
• All-caps acronym detection — finds tokens like NASA, PDF, ISO9001 (digits
  allowed; configurable minimum letter length).
• Automatic expansions — pairs "World Health Organization (WHO)" so WHO gets its
  full form with no manual lookup.
• Sort alphabetically and deduplicate — each abbreviation appears once.
• Scan & list — shows every abbreviation and expansion in the card to copy.
• Insert glossary into document (Pro) — appends an "Abbreviations" heading and a
  2-column Abbreviation | Expansion table at the end of the doc.

GREAT FOR
• Reports, theses, RFPs, and technical docs that need a glossary.
• Standardizing terminology across long or collaborative documents.
• Anyone tired of hand-building an acronym list.

FREE & PRO
• Free: all-caps and parenthetical detection, configurable length, sorting,
  scan & list — 20 scans/month, no signup.
• Pro: one-click glossary table inserted into the document + unlimited scans.
  14-day full trial.

Privacy-first: the add-on only touches your active document — nothing else in
your Drive. Fast support and frequent updates.
