What Is Toggle Case?

Quick answer: Toggle case, also called inverse case or swap case, reverses the case of every letter: capitals become small letters and small letters become capitals. Toggle Case turns into tOGGLE cASE, and toggling again brings the original back.

The style is easy to recognise because it is exactly what you get when you press Shift while Caps Lock is switched on.

Most people meet toggled text by accident. With Caps Lock on, every letter you type comes out as a capital, except the ones you hold Shift for, which come out small. The result is a sentence like I WILL CALL YOU LATER. Toggling it once restores normal writing. This tool does that, but it goes further: the Caps Lock fix works sentence by sentence so correct text nearby is not harmed, the detector shows you every affected word, and the pattern lab offers seven playful alternatives for usernames and posts.

• 1 Click to swap every letter

How Do You Invert the Case of Text?

1. Paste the text, or type it straight into the box.
2. Choose an action: iNVERSE cASE swaps everything; Fix Caps Lock text only repairs the mistakes.
3. Check and undo: The note under the toolbar says if any slips remain.
4. Copy it back: Paste the repaired message where it belongs.

How Do You Fix Caps Lock Text?

Writing produced with Caps Lock engaged has a clear fingerprint: most letters are capitals, but the letters you shifted, typically sentence openers and names, are small. Swapping the case of those sentences restores them exactly. The trouble with swapping a whole message is that sentences you typed correctly get ruined, so the Fix Caps Lock text button checks each sentence separately and only swaps the ones with the fingerprint. Words such as HELLO in the middle of normal text are fixed on their own. Sentences written entirely in capitals are left alone unless you ask, because they are often deliberate.

After fixing Caps Lock, polish the result with the sentence case converter.
