Paranoid Text Checker
Do you ever wonder if a page of text is hiding a hidden message? Here is your chance to find out
About this tool
Runs several independent checks on your text: the first and last letters of every sentence; the first, last and second letters of every word, one line per sentence; the whole text reversed; and the text with everything except letters removed. The letter lineups are shown in capitals. The reversed and letters-only versions keep their original case. Punctuation and digits are skipped when picking a "first" or "last" letter, and a one-letter word (like "a") shows _ in the second-letter lineup so the lineup stays in step with the words.
A sentence ends at a . ! or ? followed by a space or line break, or at a blank line. So that "Mr. Smith" or "J. K. Rowling" don't count as two sentences, the tool recognises over 200 common abbreviations and single-letter initials. Titles like "Mr." and "Dr." are always treated as abbreviations; ones that often end a sentence too, like "etc." or "a.m.", only count as abbreviations if the next word carries on in lowercase or with a number. No sentence splitter is perfect, so use the "How was the text split" list to check its work. A hyphenated word counts as one word. A single capital letter before a full stop is treated as an initial, as in "J. K. Rowling" (except "I", which is treated as the end of a sentence) — so "Take Vitamin C. Then rest." is read as one sentence.
A tip for the truly paranoid: with enough text, patterns turn up by chance. A match here is a fun find, not proof of anything.
