Sonic 1 - Text Code Generator (or simply S1TCG) is a text editing tool created by Selbi which can edit and generate any kind of text for Sonic 1. It was designed for the Hivebrain's June 2005 disassembly (info) (1,016 kB), but with some modifications it can also be used for the SVN version. Because it was written in Visual Basic.NET 2008, .NET Framework v2.0 or newer (v3.0 is recommended) is needed to run it.
Selbi also created a similar tool for Sonic 2, called Sonic 2 - Text Code Generator.
