## About

## What it does
Text Utilities gives you a small set of text-processing endpoints for common content operations. Send text in, get back counts, transformed text, extracted contacts and URLs, or generated placeholder copy.

Use `Text Utilities` when you need to measure content length, estimate reading time, normalize text into a slug, sort lines or words, or replace matching text with a controlled rule set. The word-count endpoint returns words, characters, charactersNoSpaces, sentences, paragraphs, and readingTimeMinutes. The find-and-replace endpoint returns the updated text plus replacementCount. The extract endpoints return arrays of URLs or email addresses found in the input text.

You can also generate lorem ipsum with a chosen number of paragraphs and words per paragraph, or shape a slug from a text string with optional lowercase handling, separator control, stop-word removal, and maxLength. That makes `Text Utilities` useful for CMS workflows, content moderation checks, editorial tools, and internal automation where text needs to be measured or rewritten before it is stored or published.

The endpoints are straightforward to compose in pipelines: validate a draft, extract contact data, generate a slug, then write the processed output into your app or database.
