What is Disemvowelling?

Disemvowelling is the removal of vowels from text — a technique sometimes used humorously online, in text compression experiments, or for generating shorthand notation. Surprisingly, consonant-only text is often still readable by humans: "Th qck brwn fx jmps vr th lzy dg." It exploits the brain's pattern-completion ability.

FAQ

Which characters are removed?
By default: a, e, i, o, u (and their uppercase forms). You can edit the vowels field to add y, Y or any other characters.
Can I still read disemvowelled text?
Often yes — the human brain is good at inferring missing vowels from context. Short common words become harder to read.
What is it used for?
Fun/creative writing, text compression experiments, word puzzles, and internet culture.
