I have been playing around with it,
one way is to say
> Approximate fuzzy matches as segments with duplicate substrings
So, use TextSTAT (free) to find the most frequent substrings in the text. (paste the source into Notepad then open in TextSTAT)
* Actually this works nicely for Japanese but only matches individual words with English. There should be some software that will analyze phrase frequency in Western languages.
Export the list of frequent substrings and open it in Excel
Tidy up the list if necessary
Use the textjoin function with | as the delimiter to create a search term for all the frequent substrings
Paste this into the Trados filter box
No good for specific percentages of fuzzy matches but it does let you filter for segments with repeated phrases
