Token language: questions and answers
Quick answer
The token language is a second language inside Typo, the autocorrect app for Windows and Mac. In AI tools it fixes your typos first and then trims filler at the level you choose, from 1 to 10. It runs on your computer, never changes code, links, numbers or a “not”, and Backspace undoes any change.
Is the token language a separate app?
No. It is part of Typo. One install gives you spelling correction everywhere and the token language in AI tools.
When is it active?
In Auto mode, the default, only in AI chat apps and on AI chat sites such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Mistral Le Chat, Grok and DeepSeek. You can also choose Always or Off in Settings.
Does it still fix my spelling?
Yes, first. Typo corrects the typo, then the token language works on the corrected text.
What do the levels mean?
Level 1 only tidies spaces and repeated words. Each level adds one kind of change: greetings at 2, “please” and “could you” at 3, filler words at 4, wordy phrases at 5, abbreviations at 6, “note that” and repeated sentences at 7, articles at 8, linking words at 9 and “is” or “are” at 10. Level 3 is the default.
What does level 10 do?
It removes the most, including articles and “is” or “are”, so the text reads like a telegram. It never removes protected text or meaning words. Read the result first or turn on safe mode.
Can it make every prompt shorter?
No. Prompts that are already direct, or that are mostly code or data, often stay as they are. Leaving a prompt alone is better than changing its meaning.
How do I undo a change?
Press Backspace right after a change while typing. On Windows, Ctrl+Alt+Z restores a whole prompt you shortened with Ctrl+Alt+T. With safe mode on, originals are also kept for 30 days.
Will it lower my AI bill?
It makes your text shorter, which can help where usage depends on length. It is not a guarantee: providers count usage differently, and some, like Lovable, bill by the work a request causes.
Does Typo know which model I use?
No. It knows which app or site you are typing in, not the model, tokenizer or plan.
Does it work in Lovable?
Yes. From Typo 0.12 lovable.dev is on the Auto list, so it works by itself. On Windows, Ctrl+Alt+T also shortens a finished prompt.
Does it use up my free fixes?
No. Only real spelling fixes count. A pure token change does not.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The token language runs on your computer, and the Platform Lab on this site runs in your browser.
Which systems are supported?
Windows 10 and 11, and macOS 12 or later. Typing mode works on both. The whole-prompt shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+T and Ctrl+Alt+Z are on Windows.
Can I try it without installing anything?
Yes. The Platform Lab runs the same rules as the app in your browser.
