Typo Spotter
Findings
A plain rule checker, not a grammar engine. It catches double spaces, stray spaces before punctuation, missing spaces after it, repeated words, repeated exclamation marks and a few common Indonesian short forms, listing the line and column of each.
History for this tool
The most recent data you entered in this tool, stored only in this browser.
Save what you type here, in this browser? Your work would go into this browser's local storage, so a refresh or a trip to another tool does not wipe it. You also get a short list of previous entries under the form, each one restorable with a click. Nothing is ever uploaded, and there is no account.
Being straight about the trade-off: anything kept there can be read by anyone who can use this browser profile, and by any script that later runs on this site. A tool page can hold a private key, a password or a signed token. Saving is convenient; it is not private.
About this tool
A rule checker for the mistakes that spellcheck misses. It flags double spaces, a space before a comma or a full stop, a missing space after punctuation, repeated words such as the same word twice, runs of exclamation marks and spaces hugging brackets. Turn on the informal switch and it also lists common Indonesian short forms like yg, tdk and diatas with the fuller word to use instead.
Questions
- Is this checking grammar?
- No. It only matches patterns, so it will not tell you whether a sentence makes sense and it does not know the difference between your and you're. It is a first pass for mechanical slips, not a replacement for reading the text.
- Why does it flag text that looks fine?
- Some rules are deliberately blunt. A missing-space rule will fire on e.g. and a repeated-word rule on a genuine repetition like had had, both of which are sometimes correct. Treat the list as suggestions and skim it.
- Does anything leave the page?
- No. The checking runs entirely in the browser, so drafts and internal notes can be pasted in without them being sent anywhere.
