1. An apparatus for electronically securing text transmitted over a computer network, comprising:

  • a communications module, wherein the communications module is coupled to the computer network, and wherein the communications module is at least configured to transmit text;

    at least one application, wherein the at least one application is at least configured to allow the user to generate text;

    a parsing function, wherein the parsing function analyzes transmitted text for sensitive data by scanning with a word comparator to determine if the text generated by the at least one application contains sensitive data, by notifying a user if text generated by the at least one application contains sensitive data before transmission, and by autostripping to automatically delete detected sensitive data; and

    a processor, wherein the process is at least configured to operate the at least one application, and wherein the processor is at least configured to transmit text generated by the at least one application, and wherein the processor is at least configured to employ the parsing function on text generated by the at least one application.
