People manually fix capitalization across text workflows

People who dictate, edit, or paste text run into different capitalization problems: sentence beginnings stay lowercase, ordinary words are capitalized as names or brands, and replacements lose the original case. One person specifically asked for a small offline tool that corrects casing across languages, while the other signals describe needs in phone typing, speech-to-text, and VS Code. The shared opportunity is case-aware text correction, but a single MVP is unlikely to cover every workflow well.

For people who write or edit text across multiple apps. Mentioned from Oct 2021 to Aug 2026 on Bluesky, GitHub and Stack Exchange.

Quoted word for word. Follow a link to read the whole discussion.

  1. I am looking for an AI model or app which fixes the casing in a sentence, e.g. if it's written in all lower-case or SHOUTING CASE, it would just give me the correct case
  2. It's so frustrating. It keeps trying to capitalize words like they're names or brands
