How to use this text tool

  1. Paste text or choose a plain-text file.

What this tool does

This page applies focused, explainable checks or formatting rules to the text you provide. The output is meant to support an accessibility review, not replace testing with disabled people and assistive technology.

The tool uses local pattern matching, text measurement, and the options shown above. It does not send your text to an external language model or silently change the source file.

Treat automatic suggestions as editorial prompts. Preserve meaning, respect self-identification, and follow the accessibility requirements of the platform where the text will appear.

Use cases

  • Review content before a website or app release.
  • Prepare subtitles, documents, forms, or interface copy for an accessibility audit.
  • Give editors a concrete list of passages that need human judgment.
  • Export a small review record for collaboration.

Tips for better output

  • Keep a copy of the original before accepting changes.
  • Read each result in the surrounding paragraph or interface.
  • Test with the assistive technology used by your audience.
  • Prefer specific wording over automatic one-for-one substitutions.
  • Ask affected readers for feedback when a choice is uncertain.

Processing details

All analysis runs in this browser tab. Unicode-aware matching is used where practical, and results can be copied or exported as text, CSV, or JSON when structured findings are available.

No automated checker can understand every cultural, linguistic, technical, or personal context. The built-in rules are intentionally conservative and the final decision remains with the editor.

Frequently asked questions

Does this formatter change the words?

No. It normalizes spacing and inserts line breaks; it does not simplify vocabulary or rewrite the source.

What line length should I choose for dyslexia-friendly text?

There is no single setting for everyone. Start with a moderate width, then test the final font size, zoom level, device, and reader preference.

Why do line breaks move after I paste the result elsewhere?

Editors and websites may wrap text according to their own width and font. Use the output as a draft for layout testing.

Is a special dyslexia font required?

No single font works best for every reader. Clear letterforms, adequate size, spacing, contrast, and user controls are all important.

Does sentence-per-line formatting improve accessibility for everyone?

Not necessarily. It can help tracking for some readers and distract others, so offer choices where possible.
