I was manually comparing two versions of a contract for 2 hours before I built this tool
Ubed Sheikh developed a tool to compare long-form text documents after struggling to find an effective solution for reviewing contract changes. The tool allows users to compare text directly, upload files, or analyze web pages without uploading content to a server. It features word-level diffs, a similarity score, and multiple viewing options to enhance document comparison efficiency.

- ▪Users can see word-level changes rather than just line-level differences, making it more useful for detailed document reviews.
