Summary

This tool try our best to find the acronyms and their corresponding original names of the input text.

Assumption:
  • Acronym is formed from the initial letters of a series of words except conjunctions, prepositions, and articles such as and, to and a etc. If any letter of the conjunctions, prepositions, and articles is included, it must be in lower case.

    Since many acronyms do not abide by this rule, It is not always possible to find all the original names.
  • The original name should be in the text and followed by its acronym at its first appearance.
