About the Text Capitalizer

Capitalization mistakes are common in quickly typed text — messages, notes typed on a phone with autocapitalize turned off, text pasted from a source that stripped formatting, or a first draft written in a rush without pausing to fix each sentence start. While a full grammar check involves much more than capitalization, fixing sentence-starting capitals is one of the most visible, quickest wins for making a block of text look properly proofread.

This tool scans your text for sentence boundaries — periods, question marks, and exclamation points — and capitalizes the first letter that follows each one, along with the very first letter of the text itself. It's a straightforward, mechanical fix rather than a full grammar or style correction: it won't catch a proper noun that should be capitalized mid-sentence, or fix a comma splice, but it reliably handles the specific, common issue of sentences that start with a lowercase letter.

It's useful for quickly cleaning up notes before sharing them, fixing text pasted from a chat app or transcription tool where capitalization often gets lost, and as a fast first pass before a more thorough proofread. Because it runs entirely in your browser, you can clean up a draft as many times as you like with no processing delay.

Frequently asked questions

Does this fix capitalization of proper nouns, like names?+
No, this tool only capitalizes the first letter of each sentence. Proper nouns appearing mid-sentence need to be capitalized manually, since detecting names reliably requires more context than punctuation alone provides.
What counts as the start of a new sentence?+
Any letter immediately following a period, question mark, or exclamation point (after any spaces) is treated as the start of a new sentence and capitalized.
Will it change letters that are already capitalized?+
No, letters that are already uppercase are left as they are; the tool only capitalizes lowercase letters at sentence starts.
Does it lowercase the rest of each sentence?+
No, this tool only adds capitalization where it's missing at sentence starts — it doesn't force the rest of your text to lowercase, so any other formatting you've applied is preserved.
