📝 Writing & Text guides

Text tasks that eat your time

Writers, students and office workers repeat the same small text chores every week: checking a word limit, turning a heading written in capitals into normal case, cleaning a pasted list full of duplicates or finding what changed between two drafts. Each chore takes seconds with the right tool and minutes without it. These guides explain the rules behind each task, show how to do it in common apps, and point to the free text tool that does it in your browser.

Skills covered in this topic

• Length: how word and character counts work, how many words fit on a page, and how to estimate reading and speaking time.
• Formatting: uppercase, lowercase, sentence case and title case, and when each is appropriate.
• Clean-up: removing duplicate lines, trimming spaces and comparing two versions of a text.

Privacy when working with text

Drafts, customer lists and code often contain private information. All of our text tools run inside your browser, so the text you paste is not uploaded. That makes them safe for everyday work, but as always, avoid pasting passwords or secrets into any website you do not control.
