Person First Language Converter

How to use this text tool

1. Paste your text or load the sample.
2. Choose the option that matches your context.
3. Select Convert Language or press Ctrl/Cmd + Enter.
4. Review every finding in context, then copy or download the report.

What this tool does

The converter applies a curated phrase map from longer expressions to shorter ones, preserves basic capitalization, and reports each changed phrase.

Person-first language is not universally preferred. Ask people how they describe themselves and treat this output as an editing option, not a rule.

Example

Sample input:

The disabled students met with an autistic student and a wheelchair-bound speaker. A diabetic patient joined them.

Run the sample to see a traceable report with counts and revision guidance.

Use cases

• Review a draft before sharing it with an instructor or editor.
• Compare revisions with consistent surface-level checks.
• Teach the writing or accessibility concepts represented by the report.
• Create a downloadable record for a manual editing workflow.

Tips for better output

• Use complete passages so the checker has meaningful context.
• Read every flagged sentence instead of editing by score alone.
• Keep the intended audience and style guide beside you.
• Rerun the tool after making one type of revision.
• Have a knowledgeable person review high-stakes text.

Processing details

Matching occurs locally in your browser. Longer phrases are processed first to prevent a shorter rule from changing part of a longer expression.

The converter cannot infer a person’s preference, cultural context, reclaimed language, or whether identity-first wording is intentional.
