Frequently asked questions

Where do I enter the second version?

Paste the first passage in the main input and the second in the comparison field below it.

Does this align moved paragraphs like a code diff?

No. It compares the same line positions. An inserted line can make later lines appear different until the positions match again.

Are spaces and letter case significant?

Yes. The comparison uses the exact line text, including differences in spacing and capitalization.

What size comparison is supported?

Each passage is limited to 200,000 characters and 5,000 lines to keep the result manageable on the device.
