Frequently asked questions
Is the text I paste uploaded anywhere?
No. Every text tool here runs in your browser, so what you paste is processed on your own device and is never sent to a server. That also means the tools work on text you would not want to paste into an online service in the first place.
How is the word count calculated?
Words are runs of characters separated by whitespace, which is the same rule word processors use, so the number matches what you would see in a document. Characters are counted both with and without spaces, because different word limits mean different things by "characters".
How is reading time estimated?
The word count is divided by a reading speed you choose: 150 words per minute for slow reading, 200 for average, 265 for fast and 350 for a practised speed reader. Speaking aloud is estimated at 130 words per minute, which is nearer a measured presentation pace.
Does removing duplicate lines change the order of what is left?
No. The first occurrence of each line stays exactly where it was, so a list you had already ordered stays ordered. A tool that sorts as a side effect of de-duplicating has destroyed information you had, which is why this one does not.
What counts as a duplicate line?
By default, an exact match. You can also ignore letter case and ignore surrounding spaces, which matters for text pasted out of a spreadsheet where trailing spaces are invisible. Windows line endings are normalised first, so a stray carriage return does not hide a duplicate.
What is the difference between Title Case and Sentence case?
Title Case capitalises each significant word, as in a headline. Sentence case capitalises only the first word and anything that is a proper noun. The case converter also offers upper, lower, camelCase, snake_case and kebab-case for code and file names.
Can I use regular expressions in find and replace?
Yes, and it is off by default so that characters like . $ ( ) are treated as literal text unless you ask for pattern matching. With regular expressions turned on, an invalid pattern is explained rather than silently doing nothing.
