shakespeare.exe

A browser userscript that doth maketh thine webpages more... Elizabethan.

What is this?

Hast thou ever readeth a webpage and wonder'd:

"What if this article were written by the Bard himself?"

Wonder no more.
Presenting: shakespeare.exe — a userscript for Violentmonkey that automatically translates normal, modern English text into Shakespearean style.

Witty? ✔️
Confusing? ✔️
Absolutely unnecessary? ✔️
Perfect.

What does it do?

The script walks through text nodes on any web page and replaces:

  • Common words (you → thou, are → art)
  • Modern phrases (no way → fie! it cannot be!)
  • Dynamic content too! (It watches for DOM changes and updates on-the-fly)

Example transformations:

"I'm so happy you're here!"
becomes
"My heart singeth with joy thou art hither!"
