With this online tool, you can fix fake text that was earlier created with the Generate Fake Text utility or any similar program and get back text in its original form. It works by analyzing the text and identifying all fake letters, symbols, and numbers, and then replacing them with regular Latin letters and numerals. This program is especially useful for content moderation and filtering systems that need to normalize the posted comments and detect spam and bad content. The fake letters are almost always identical to regular letters. For example, in the text "Reveal the Illusion", the letters "e", "a", "I", "s", "i", and "o" are fake because they are taken from the Cyrillic alphabet, where they look exactly the same as in English alphabet. Some Latin letters have multiple identical or very similar fake characters. For example, the Latin letter "o" has a dozen duplicates such as "ο" (Greek small letter omicron), "о" (Cyrillic small letter o), "օ" (Armenian small letter oh), "ᴏ" (Latin letter small capital o), "𝚘" (mathematical monospace small o), "𝗈" (mathematical sans-serif small o), and many others. Similarly, many punctuation marks and non-letter symbols also have fake copies. For example, the exclamation mark "!" can be replaced with the Latin letter retroflex click "ǃ" and the period "." can be replaced with the one dot leader "․". There are also many variations of fake whitespace characters as well. The fake spaces differ only slightly in length, such as " ", " ", " ", " " and they are hard to distinguish from a regular space " " with the naked eye. Additionally, there is a zero-length character called "zero width space" that may be inserted between the letters of the text that you can't see at all. This program automatically identifies all this fakery, converts it to regular ASCII text that was written using regular keyboard characters, and prints it on the screen. Textabulous!

In this example, we detect and correct fake letters in a phrase taken from a comment on our social media account. At first glance, it seems like there's nothing unusual about it however, there are six letters that are fake. The letters "Соеѕуі" are not English letters as they are taken from the Cyrillic alphabet. Such letters that look the same in two different alphabets are called homoglyphs. If this text contained profanity or something else that's bad, then it would never be caught by regular text filtering or search systems.
In this example, we get rid of fake spaces, punctuation, and empty characters. This small snippet of text looks good but it's actually filled with fake characters. Although visually it seems that the text has only 66 symbols, in reality, it contains 131 symbols. Half of the length of the text is made up of zero-width symbols (which are called zero-width spaces). They are placed between every two letters and they don't change the length of the text visually. In addition to these empty characters, there are also fake spaces and punctuation symbols here. If you look closely, you'll notice that the dot is a little bit smaller than a regular dot that's on the keyboard. As soon as this text is processed, in the output you'll get clean text that contains only characters that are found on a regular keyboard.
This example cleans the text from fake similar-looking letters that were taken from other computer fonts. These letters do not exactly match the Latin letters but they are very similar. For example, the letter "𝙨" is a small italic letter from a mathematical font and the letter "𝖓" is a small bold fraktur letter. The program identifies such letters in the text and replaces them with regular Latin letters.
