The newly emerging technologies enable us to deliver and share the information in the form of multimedia. However, the major issue is security without disturbing the personal data. In such case, steganography can be used as a most suitable technique. Basically steganography is the art and technique of hiding important data which we want to send over a channel or transmission medium. The hiding of information is made with the carrier so the the hacking of data will be difficult. Generally, we have two choices to hide the data, i.e. image or video. For effectual and fortunate embedded process, it is very important to select correct pixel in a video image. These pixels are playing important role in storage of secret information. Here, we are focused on the text based steganography.Generally, there are various types of the steganography viztext, audio, video, image type, protocol type etc. Carrier plays an important role in the steganography. This carrier is also known as the cover. In this present study, we aim to evaluate the carrier on text steganography. We proposed an algorithm which is useful for the multi-level text steganography, which is more advantageous than the standard least significant bit algorithm. Two different tests were used to prove proposed algorithm and checked the time of implementation needed for both algorithm and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio to new image. MATLAB was used to implement algorithm, which was most useful computational language.
