Text Encoding Inspector
Detect BOM, line endings, and binary-vs-text for any file.
What it does
Detect BOM, line endings, and binary-vs-text for any file. Part of Writing & Text Analysis — Readability, structure, and speech — all local.
Also found under: bom, utf-8, line endings, charset.
When to use it
Confirm a legacy file is UTF-16 with CRLF endings before converting it.
Privacy & safety
Text analysis runs locally as deterministic heuristics. Voice features use only device-installed capabilities.
This tool reads files you explicitly pick — nothing is scanned without your choice, and originals are never modified.
