Free text tools on Zyff
Zyff's text section has two tools, and both are still being built. The Word Counter will report words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and reading time for whatever you paste in. The Case Converter will switch text between UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case and Sentence case. Their pages are live so you can see what is planned, but the tools behind them are not finished yet.
Frequently asked questions
Which text tool ships first?
The Word Counter, because it is the simpler pipeline: count, measure, return. The Case Converter needs sentence-boundary detection and two competing title-case rule sets before it is worth shipping, so it follows. Neither has a date attached, and neither page will pretend to work before it does.
What is the difference between Title Case and Sentence case?
Title Case capitalizes the first letter of each significant word, the way a headline is set. Sentence case capitalizes only the first word plus any proper nouns, the way ordinary prose is written. The Case Converter will do both, along with UPPERCASE and lowercase, from the same pasted text.
Do the text tools handle text pasted out of Word or Google Docs?
Yes, and it is worth knowing what comes with it: a paste from a word processor carries smart quotes, non-breaking spaces and stray line breaks alongside the words. Those are real characters and they count, which is one reason a total here can differ from the one your document showed you.
Will my text be stored?
No. Like every other Zyff tool, the text tools process what you send in memory on the server and keep nothing afterwards. There is no account, no saved drafts and no history, so closing the tab is the whole of the cleanup.
Why use a word counter when my editor already has one?
Because the number you need is often not the one your editor shows. Word processors disagree on how they treat hyphenated words, numbers and footnotes, and most will not give you characters without spaces, sentence count and reading time side by side.
Are there limits on how much text I can paste?
Each tool will publish its own limit on its page when it ships, enforced on the server rather than only in the input box. The limits are sized for real work such as an essay, a product page or a batch of headlines, not for pasting an entire book.
