A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Paste up to 100,000 characters of English text.
  2. Convert the supported expanded phrases.
  3. Review and copy the contracted text.

English-only dictionary

The tool contracts a fixed set of common forms such as I am → I'm, do not → don't, will not → won't, and they are → they're. Unsupported phrases and other languages remain unchanged.

Predictable text handling

Matching is case-insensitive at word boundaries. All-uppercase and initial-capital forms keep their casing; punctuation, whitespace, and line breaks stay in place. Output apostrophes use the straight ASCII character.

Local processing

Conversion happens in your browser and the input is not uploaded or saved.
