A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing you write is sent anywhere or kept.

  1. Put your text in the boxPaste or type it, or press Open file for a .txt, .md or Word (.docx) file, or drop the file on the box. A line under the box says, as you write, how many words it has and how long it takes to read and to say aloud.
  2. Say what you want to doChoose an answer to “What do you want to do with your text?”: Count it, Change capitals, Compare two texts, Tidy it up, Sort lines, Find and replace, or Placeholder text. Its panel opens beside the text on a computer and under it on a phone.
  3. Count itSee words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and lines. Turn on Check a limit to see how much is left of an X post, a text message, a search description or a word target you set.
  4. Change capitalsChoose UPPER CASE, lower case, Sentence case or Title Case (with its style guide: APA, AP, Chicago or MLA). The panel shows the first line as it will be, and the button changes the whole text.
  5. Compare two textsPaste the first version in the first box and the second in the second. The page says how many words were added and taken out and shows both texts with what was added underlined and what was taken out struck through, side by side or in one.
  6. Tidy, sort, or find and replaceEach panel says first what it will do (“Take out 14 line breaks and 3 double spaces”), then one press does it. Preview the change shows the text before and after with every change marked.
  7. Undo, copy or downloadEvery change is one step: the Undo arrow puts the text back and the Redo arrow does the change again. Copy text puts the text on the clipboard, and the download arrow saves it as a .txt file.

Questions people ask

What does lorem ipsum mean?
Little: it is scrambled Latin from Cicero, used since the 1500s so that a page can be laid out without its words drawing the eye. The words here come from Faker's Latin word list.
Can I make the same text again?
Yes. The text is made from a seed, under More options: the same amount, start and seed always make the same text.
Can I leave out the classic first sentence?
Yes. Turn off Start with Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, and the text starts with other words.
