Introducing Text Transforms - I Write Like Blog

The new Transform tool in I Write Like adds 32 useful text transformations that you can apply to your text with a single click.

You can apply transforms to the entire text or only to the selected portion.

When using transforms, click on the arrow next to each button to see a description and example of the transformation.

We’ve added Undo and Redo buttons to the toolbar for easy reversal of the transforms.
