Other Tools You May Need
Convert casing & naming styles
Use this section when you need consistent capitalization for titles, headings, UI labels, and code identifiers. Case Converter explicitly supports popular styles like Title Case, camelCase/PascalCase, snake_case, and kebab-case for standardizing content across docs and codebases.
Clean, normalize & fix encoding
Use this section when text looks “broken”—weird spacing, hidden characters, mixed Unicode forms, or accents causing mismatches in search and data joins. Hidden Character Detector explicitly finds invisible Unicode characters like zero-width spaces and BiDi control marks, and Unicode Normalizer supports normalizing to NFC/NFD/NFKC/NFKD (with options like trimming/collapsing whitespace).
Find, extract & replace patterns
Use this section when you need to locate patterns, extract portions of text, or apply bulk edits safely. Regex Find/Replace explicitly supports multiline mode and backreferences for group-based replacements (for example using \1 or $1).
Analyze writing & counts
Use this section to measure length, readability proxies, and repetition—great for SEO briefs, scripts, essays, and character limits. Word Counter reports words, characters (with/without spaces), sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading/speaking time using 200 wpm for reading and 130 wpm for speaking.
Generate text & test strings
Use this section when you need filler copy, test data, or quick outputs for demos and QA. These tools are helpful for UI placeholders, form testing, and content templates.
Transform text layout
Use this section when you need to restructure text—joining lines, splitting blocks, quoting, rotating, or turning content into Markdown-ready structures. This is especially useful for preparing data for spreadsheets, code, or documentation.

Text Censor Copy Paste
Text censor copy paste is useful when a paragraph needs to be shared but certain words should be masked—personal info, internal terms, profanity, or spoiler words. The WizardOfAZ Text Censor tool masks words using either a default list or your own custom list (one term per line) and lets you choose the replacement character, such as * or •. Case-sensitive mode helps when only specific casing should be censored (for example, a brand name), while whole-word matching prevents partial redactions inside larger words. This is helpful for moderation workflows, classroom materials, public screenshots, or demo content where the structure must remain but specific tokens should be hidden. Because the censor output is still plain text, it’s easy to paste into emails, tickets, or social platforms while reducing accidental disclosure. A good practice is to run the censor once, then scan the result for near-misses—variants, plurals, and punctuation-adjacent words—then add those variants to the blocklist for a second pass. Replacement character choice matters: asterisks are widely understood, while bullet characters can look cleaner in a UI, so pick a symbol that fits the destination. WizardOfAZ presents this as a browser tool that does not require registration, which supports quick redaction in time-sensitive situations.
Censor Text In Word
Censor text in Word can be done with manual edits, find/replace, or redaction-style formatting, but those approaches often leave behind recoverable text unless the document is exported carefully. A text-based censor tool helps when the goal is to publish or share a “masked version” of content as plain text, where the sensitive tokens are replaced and no hidden original remains in the output. This page lets you define a replacement character, provide your own list of words to censor, and enable whole-word or case-sensitive options for precision. A practical Word workflow is to copy the text out of the document, run the censor, then paste the censored output into a separate “public” version of the document, keeping the original file unchanged for internal records. This avoids accidental leaks from tracked changes, comments, or earlier revisions that Word might retain. If the Word text includes names with punctuation (like “O’Neil”) or hyphenated identifiers, add those exact variants to the censor list so the match works reliably. After pasting back into Word, export to PDF if needed and verify that search finds only the censored form, not the original term. For highly sensitive documents, consider dedicated redaction workflows, but for everyday masking in drafts, this tool provides a quick, consistent pass.
Text Censors 9 Letters
Text censors 9 letters is usually a puzzle-style request where someone wants a nine-character censored block, such as “*********” or “•••••••••,” to indicate a hidden word length. This tool lets you choose the replacement character, which means you can create a visual “censored length” effect by setting a single symbol and then censoring a target word. For example, if the original word is nine letters, whole-word censoring will replace it with nine instances of your chosen symbol, preserving the length cue. This can be useful for quizzes, classroom games, or spoiler-friendly hints where revealing word length is allowed but the word itself is not. If your goal is to always show exactly 9 symbols regardless of original length, that’s a different transformation; you would need a fixed-length masker rather than a word-based censor. As a workaround, you can replace the target with a nine-letter placeholder first and then censor that placeholder to force a consistent length, but only if the context allows that extra step. When using this in public content, ensure readers understand it’s a redaction cue, not a formatting glitch, by pairing it with a label like “[redacted].” The key is choosing a replacement symbol that displays consistently across devices, since some fonts render bullets and blocks differently.
Censored Text Symbol Copy And Paste
Censored text symbol copy and paste is useful when you want a consistent visual mask that looks clean across platforms—asterisks, bullets, or block characters. The Text Censor page allows choosing the replacement character, so you can paste a symbol like “*” or “•” and use that for the redaction output. Bullets can look more polished for screenshots and UI mockups, while asterisks are universally understood and safer when fonts are unpredictable. Because the tool also supports whole-word matching, you can preserve the surrounding sentence structure while replacing only the blocked terms, which keeps readability high. If a word appears with punctuation attached (like “word,” or “word.”), whole-word settings may treat it differently depending on the implementation, so it’s worth testing one sentence and adjusting your blocklist or settings if needed. When producing content for public posting, consider whether you want to reveal word length; some replacement methods preserve length while others may not, so test with a known sample first. After generating the censored output, copy it into the destination and verify the symbols didn’t get auto-substituted by the platform (some apps replace multiple asterisks with formatting). For repeated moderation work, keep a saved “replacement symbol + blocklist” template so new content can be censored consistently.
