Text Case 4+

This app fills a need created by the Shortcuts app bug converting text to sentence case. I’ve seen mention of it as far back as 2018, so clearly no effort is being made by Apple to address it. But now, being able to call a Text Case-generated Siri shortcut from within my own handles it beautifully. I’ve spent so much pointless time trying to concoct a workaround and now my mind is at ease. Thank you.

This is the type of thing I’d use daily with a little adjustment. The biggest issue is that Capitalize doesn’t recognize multiple sentences, so only the first word of a paragraph is capitalized with other sentences transformed to lowercase.

I think the results could also be better ordered with more commonly used items first. For instance: Capitalize, Title Case, Uppercase, Lowercase, URL Encoded, Reversed, Mocking Spongebob (whatever that one means?!).

There’s also an additional case I’d love to see solved for that I run into frequently: turning copied text into a quote. So, wrapping pasted text in double quotation marks and any internal quotes in single quote marks (American English, I believe British English might be the reverse.) This is useful when grabbing text from an article to quote on social media.

Another goofy/fun idea would be to turn any words of a sentence into emojis if there is an exact match. Like “The rooster and the pig drove a car.” into “The 🐓 and the 🐖 drove a 🚗”. Almost like a rebus.

Anyway, great start, looking forward to seeing it grow!
