Frequently Asked Questions
How does the comparison algorithm work?
We utilize the Myers' diff algorithm, which is the industry standard for identifying the shortest sequence of edits to transform one text into another. It's efficient and accurate for both small snippets and large documents.
Is my data secure?
Yes! All text comparison happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your machine and is never sent to our servers.
What are the different modes?
