💡 Why use this tool?

Newspapers and websites use fixed spellings for names, places and words. Fixing them one by one in a long story takes time and some are missed.

Keep your own list of rules here, and apply all of them in one click.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is my text uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser.

What does "Whole words only" do?

It changes "కారు" only when it is a full word, not when it is part of "కారుణ్యం". It works with Telugu and English.

How do I delete a word?

Leave the "Replace with" box empty.

How are the rules applied?

From top to bottom. The result of the first rule is used by the next rule, so keep the order in mind.

Where are my saved rules stored?

Only in this browser on this device. They are not sent anywhere. Clearing browser data will remove them.

What is the Advanced mode?

It lets you use regular expressions for patterns, for example digits or spaces. Use $1, $2 in the replacement for matched groups. Leave it off for normal use.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free.
