How the Caps Lock Fixer works

Two common accidents are handled. With Caps Lock on, a typist who still presses Shift produces inverted words such as hELLO wORLD, and the fix swaps the case of those words to give Hello World. Text typed entirely in capitals is converted to sentence case, with capitals restored after full stops and the single word I corrected.

Automatic mode picks the right fix by checking how much of the text is uppercase. You can also choose one of the fixes yourself.

When it is useful

  • •Rescuing a long message you typed with Caps Lock on.
  • •Cleaning notes copied from systems that store text in capitals.
  • •Fixing shouting emails before sending them on.
  • •Normalizing old data exports in all caps.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will proper nouns be capitalized?

In all caps repair mode, text is lowercased and sentences are capitalized, so names such as London come out as london. Check names and acronyms afterwards, or use the Headline Case tool for titles.

What counts as an inverted word?

A word of at least two letters that starts with a lowercase letter followed by uppercase letters, such as tHERE.

Does it work with other languages?

It uses Unicode letter classes, so accented letters and other alphabets with case are handled.
