Editing is time-consuming work. Every minute saved on mechanical tasks like case conversion is a minute you can spend on substance. Here's how case conversion tools accelerate your editing workflow.
The Hidden Cost of Manual Case Conversion
Time Per Edit
Manually capitalizing a title: ~5-10 seconds. Using a case converter: ~2 seconds.
Cumulative Impact
A document with 50 headings:
- Manual: 250-500 seconds (~4-8 minutes)
- Case Converter: 100 seconds (~1.5 minutes)
That's up to 6 minutes saved per document.
Error Reduction
Manual conversion introduces typos. Automated conversion is error-free.
When to Use Case Conversion in Editing
Reformatting Imported Content
Content from other sources often has inconsistent capitalization. Convert it all at once.
Standardizing Headings
Ensure all headings follow the same format across a document.
Fixing Caps Lock Errors
Toggle case (tOGGLE cASE → Toggle Case) fixes accidental caps lock instantly.
Converting Variable Names
Developers editing documentation can quickly convert between camelCase, snake_case, and regular text.
The Fast Editing Workflow
- Identify inconsistently formatted text.
- Copy it.
- Open Rune's Case Converter.
- Paste.
- Click "Copy" on the correct format.
- Paste back into your document.
Total time: 5-10 seconds per batch.
Batch Processing Tips
Multiple Headings at Once
Instead of converting one heading at a time:
- Copy all headings into a list.
- Paste the list into the Case Converter.
- Convert all at once.
- Copy the result.
- Replace in your document.
Use Find-and-Replace After Conversion
After converting a batch, use Find-and-Replace to swap old headings with new ones in your document.
Time-Saving Comparison
| Task | Manual | With Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Convert 10 headings | 2 min | 20 sec |
| Fix Caps Lock paragraph | 3 min | 10 sec |
| Standardize document | 10 min | 3 min |
