Remove vowels
Disemvoweling strips the vowels out of text: "The quick brown fox" becomes "Th qck brwn fx". Paste your text and every a, e, i, o and u disappears instantly — a trick used for compact abbreviations, note-taking shorthand, word puzzles, short-but-memorable identifiers, and the classic forum moderation technique that gave the tool its name.
Three switches fine-tune what counts as a vowel. Treat y as a vowel to remove it as well, so "style" becomes "stl" instead of "styl". Accented vowels — á, é, í, ö, ő, ą and their relatives — are removed by default and can be kept instead, which matters for Slovak, Czech, German, Polish or Hungarian text. And keeping the first letter of each word protects word-initial vowels: "apple orange" becomes "appl orng" rather than "ppl rng", which keeps the result far more readable.
The mode selector also works in reverse. Keep only vowels drops everything else — consonants, digits, punctuation — while spaces and line breaks survive, so the shape of the text stays visible. That inverse mode is handy for counting vowels, building language games or checking vowel distribution line by line. The tally under the output always shows characters in and out plus exactly how many vowels were removed or kept.
Like every TextArray tool, this one is fully local: your text is processed in your browser and never uploaded anywhere, so private notes and unpublished drafts are safe. The result updates live as you type; copy it in one click, download it as a .txt file, or feed it back into the input for another pass.
