# 1337.me — Leetspeak Generator, Converter and Translator

> A free online tool to convert plain text to Leetspeak (1337speak) and translate Leetspeak back to plain English.

## What is this site?

1337.me is a single-page web tool that converts between plain English and Leetspeak (also written as 1337speak or leet). Leetspeak is a writing system that replaces standard letters with numbers and symbols that visually resemble them — for example, "leet" becomes "1337", and "elite" becomes "31173".

## How to use it

- Type plain text into the top input field — it is instantly converted to Leetspeak in the bottom field.
- Type Leetspeak into the bottom field — it is translated back to plain English in the top field.
- Enable "pro mode" via the checkbox for advanced character substitutions (more complex symbol replacements).
- Voice input is supported in Chrome and Edge via the microphone button.

## Features

- Bidirectional conversion: plain text → Leetspeak and Leetspeak → plain text
- Pro mode with extended character mappings
- Voice input via the Web Speech API
- Animated matrix background (visual only, no effect on functionality)
- Completely free, no sign-up required
