Capitalized Words Extractor

The Capitalized Words Extractor scans text and pulls out every word that begins with a capital letter, giving you a quick heuristic list of likely proper nouns such as names, places, brands, and organisations. Rather than reading a document to note each capitalised term, you get a clean list you can review, dedupe, and sort in one step.

Its most useful feature is the option to exclude words that appear only because they start a sentence. Ordinary words are capitalised at the beginning of every sentence, which would otherwise flood the results. When you enable the sentence-start filter, those cases are skipped so the output leans much more strongly toward genuine proper nouns.

Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Paste your text, choose whether to filter sentence starts, deduplicate, and sort, then read the resulting list along with counts of how many words were found and returned. Because processing stays on your device, private drafts and sensitive documents remain confidential.

Features

• Extracts every word beginning with an uppercase letter as a likely proper noun.
• Optionally skips words that appear only at the start of a sentence.
• Removes duplicate words so each unique term appears once by default.
• Sorts the results alphabetically when you want an ordered list.
• Reports how many words were found and how many were returned.
• Copies the list or exports it as a TXT file for later use.
• Runs entirely in your browser, keeping documents private.

How to use Capitalized Words Extractor

1. Paste the text you want to scan into the input box on the left.
2. Enable Exclude sentence-start words to focus on genuine proper nouns.
3. Choose whether to remove duplicates and whether to sort alphabetically.
4. Read the extracted list, which shows one capitalized word per line.
5. Check the statistics for the total found and the number returned.
6. Copy the list or export it as a TXT file for your records.

Benefits

• Quickly surfaces names, places, and brands mentioned in a document.
• Helps researchers build a shortlist of entities from long text.
• Lets editors check consistent capitalisation of proper nouns.
• The sentence-start filter cuts noise for far cleaner results.
• Keeps sensitive documents private because nothing is uploaded.
• Saves manual effort compared with highlighting capitals by hand.

This is a heuristic rather than a grammatical parser, so it identifies capitalised words rather than confirming they are truly proper nouns. That means acronyms, title-case headings, and the first word of each sentence can all appear. The sentence-start option is the main lever for accuracy: with it enabled, a word like Every that merely opens a sentence is ignored, while the same word appearing mid-sentence is kept because that usually signals a genuine name.

Deduplication is on by default and compares words case-sensitively as extracted, and the statistics show both the raw count and the returned count so you can see how much filtering removed. For downstream work you can feed the list into other tools — for example, count term frequency with the Keyword Extractor or tidy the list further with Remove Duplicate Lines. Everything runs offline for complete privacy.
