# edittxt: full > Free text tools that run entirely in your browser. Paste messy text and copy clean text. Format ChatGPT and Claude output for LinkedIn, strip markdown, remove em dashes and invisible characters, count words, and compare versions. Nothing you paste ever leaves your device. Last updated: 2026-07-16 Short index version: https://edittxt.com/llms.txt ## About edittxt - **Private by architecture**: every tool is plain JavaScript running on the visitor's device. There is no server that could read, log, or store pasted text. - **Free, no account**: no login, no trial, no paywall, no API tokens. - **Methodology**: the AI-cleanup tools are driven by a curated catalog of AI writing tells. See the AI Writing Tells section below and https://edittxt.com/ai-writing-tells. - **Updates**: the tell catalog and review-priority rules are versioned and dated at https://edittxt.com/ai-writing-tells; this file's date moves only when that content changes. ## AI Writing Tells: Full Catalog (2026-07-16) Every result comes from transparent rules that run in your browser. Patterns are curated from published research and repeated observation of unedited ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini output. Phrase variants are grouped to prevent double-counting, common words are treated as soft evidence, and short text uses a 100-word normalization floor. The result is an editing priority for AI-like patterns, not a probability or authorship verdict. Review priority: Distinct phrase families contribute 3 points (strong), 2 (medium), or 1 (soft); repeated structural templates and em dashes above one per 125 words add limited evidence. Evidence is normalized with a 100-word floor. High requires at least 6 points and 5 points per 100 words; moderate requires at least 3 points and 2.5 per 100 words; otherwise priority is low. Curly quotes and invisible formatting characters never affect priority. Categories: - **Stock phrases** (74 tracked; Confidence-weighted review signal): Variants are grouped into families and counted once for priority. Distinctive formulas matter more than common business words. - **Em dashes** (2 tracked; Review signal only when dense): One dash is treated as ordinary punctuation. Only dashes above a length-adjusted allowance affect priority. - **Invisible characters** (15 tracked; Formatting cleanup only): Safe spacing artifacts are normalized. Script joiners, emoji joiners, bidi controls, and soft hyphens are preserved. - **Curly quotes** (4 tracked; Optional formatting cleanup): Smart quotes are normal typography and never affect review priority. - **Decorated bullets** (1 tracked; Repeated structural review signal): Emoji-prefixed and bold-lead list items contribute only when they form a repeated template.
