Before you start

Paste only the text you want to inspect or transform, review the available options, and keep a copy of any source text that is difficult to replace. Where a tool offers several cleanup or conversion choices, select only the changes you actually want instead of applying every option automatically.

Check the result

Review the result before using it in a final document, form, message, dataset, or publication. Counting and formatting tools are deterministic, but punctuation, line breaks, Unicode characters, and copied formatting can affect what a particular application considers a word, character, sentence, or line. If the destination has its own limit, compare the final pasted result there too.

Privacy and reliability

Doitberry text utilities process the working text in your browser session and do not send that tool input to a Doitberry backend. The pages are intended for quick everyday text tasks, but you should still avoid placing highly sensitive information into any web page unless you are comfortable doing so.
