# Compare Measured Text-Spacing Heights with Fixed Component Boxes — Free

A spacing override can make text taller while a fixed container stays unchanged. Record the actual before-and-after heights and compare them with the box, rather than guessing clipping risk from font size alone.

**Free and complete.** This guide is a standalone free tool — no account, no card, anywhere. The only paid option is one optional extra outcome: $4 one-time. Nothing in the free tier is gated.

## Who it's for

Accessibility reviewers organizing measured text-spacing observations

## What's free

- one complete unwatermarked override-clip board run in the app
- three labeled samples and unlimited article-demo calculations
- complete result text and a user-triggered input-state link

## Optional paid add-on

**$4 one-time.**

- unlimited subsequent override-clip board app calculations after a local convenience signal
- print the override-clip board with visible assumptions and its safety boundary
- CSV of the displayed px summed required growth and row workings; conditional estimate uses your manual-retyping minutes
- five local reading summaries (headline/count/time), not saved full inputs or cross-device backups

## Sources & verification
