How it works
This sentence case converter fixes capitalization as you type: every sentence starts with a capital, and the rest goes small. It opens on a line typed with caps lock on, already put right.

What keeps its capital inside a sentence
The word I, the seven days and ten of the months. March and May go small, because both are ordinary words too. So does every name: Paris becomes paris unless you list it under Protected words.
A title such as Dr. starts no new sentence
Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr., Prof. and St. keep their capital and pass one to the name after them: DR. LEE SAID NO becomes Dr. Lee said no. Letters with full stops, such as U.S. or p.m., stay as you typed them.
- Need every letter small, the word I included? Copy the lower case row instead.
- A new line starts with a capital too, so a poem or a list keeps its line starts.
Questions and answers
What is sentence case?
Sentence case means capitals where an ordinary sentence has them: on the first word and on names, with small letters everywhere else. For example, THE MEETING IS ON MONDAY becomes The meeting is on Monday.
How do I convert all caps to sentence case?
Paste the uppercase text. The converter makes every letter small, then puts a capital on the first letter after a full stop, a question mark, an exclamation mark or a line break: I TYPED THIS. IT WAS MONDAY becomes I typed this. It was Monday.
Does it work as a capitalization checker?
Partly. It corrects capitalization errors at sentence starts, on I, the days and most months, and the card says No change when nothing needed fixing. It does not know names, and it checks no spelling or grammar.
Does it auto capitalize while I type?
Yes. Type in the box without touching Shift and the result follows every key press, with the capitals put in.
What is the difference between sentence case and capital case?
Capital case is another name for title case, where most words get a capital: A Walk in the Woods. In sentence case only the first word and names do: A walk in the woods. The title case converter makes the first kind.
