Use these for fun, not for anything that matters. Screen readers read many of these characters badly or skip them, search cannot find them, and some apps strip them or show empty boxes.

Alternating caps, random Abc 123 Capitals and small letters drawn at random, never more than two of a kind in a row.

How these styles work: none of them is a font. Each one swaps your letters for other characters that Unicode already has, or adds combining marks to them, so the result is plain text that can be pasted anywhere. The maps were built from the Unicode code charts, and a character that has no look-alike is left as it is.

How it works

This mocking text generator rewrites your sentence in alternating caps three ways: small letter first, capital first, or in random case.

Alternate caps two ways, random caps a third

The large card shows Alternating caps, small first, i ReAd ThE tErMs AnD cOnDiTiOnS for the sample. Below are Alternating caps, capital first and Alternating caps, random. The random row never runs one case past two letters.

Which letters take a turn

Only letters take a turn, so a space, a digit or a comma never breaks the rhythm. German ß stays as it is, because its capital is two letters, SS. Every row is ordinary keyboard letters, so the length never changes: the sample is 31 characters before and after.

All caps, all lowercase or mixed caps in, same result out: every letter's case is set afresh.
If the first letter has to be a capital, as in a name, copy Alternating caps, capital first.

Questions and answers

Is a mocking text generator the same as an alternating caps generator?

Yes: the style is called alternating caps. Wikipedia's article of that name also lists studly caps and sticky caps, and records that the term alternating case appears in studies on word identification as early as the 1970s.

How random is the random case in this alternating text generator?

Each letter's case is an even draw, with one rule: no case runs longer than two letters, so no three letters in a row share a case.

Is this a sarcastic text generator?

It makes the alternating capitals used to show that a sentence is being repeated in a silly voice. Wikipedia records that a meme of May 2017 made the style a widespread way to show a mocking tone in text.
