How to use this text tool

  1. Paste plain-text contract, policy, or service terms.
  2. Choose whether matching should be case-sensitive or include neighboring context.
  3. Run the tool, compare every match with the original section, then copy or export the report.

What this tool does

The output lists passages that contain drafting patterns commonly associated with a prohibition. It is a document-navigation aid, not a legal conclusion.

The browser splits the document into sentence-like and clause-like units, then tests each unit against focused prohibition signals.

Always read definitions, exceptions, cross-references, exhibits, and surrounding language before relying on a match.

Example

Input: Users must not share login credentials. The Customer shall not reverse engineer the Software. Neither party may disclose Confidential Information except as permitted below. Authorized users may download reports.

Output: The matching passage or extracted names appear with numbered evidence for review.

Use cases

  • First-pass contract intake and issue spotting
  • Comparing clauses across draft versions
  • Preparing a focused checklist for legal review
  • Locating terms in vendor policies or procurement documents

Tips for better output

  • Use selectable text instead of OCR output when possible.
  • Keep headings and punctuation; they improve segmentation.
  • Search the source for defined terms referenced by a match.
  • Treat both matches and omissions as items requiring human verification.

Processing details

All matching is deterministic and runs locally with JavaScript. The page does not send the entered document to a remote analysis service.

Pattern matching can miss uncommon drafting and may flag irrelevant passages. Scanned PDFs must be converted to accurate text first.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool provide legal advice?

No. It highlights possible prohibition language for review and does not interpret enforceability or replace a qualified lawyer.

Does the text leave my browser?

No. Processing runs locally in your browser; the page does not upload the pasted contract to a server.

Can it find every relevant clause?

No automated pattern finder is perfect. Defined terms, unusual drafting, scans, and cross-references can cause missed or extra matches.

Can I process a long agreement?

Yes, but plain text works best. For very long documents, review each match in its original section and verify surrounding definitions.

What should I do with the results?

Use them as a review checklist, compare them with the source, and have important conclusions checked by appropriate counsel.
