XChange International, the source for extended technology worldwide are pleased to announce the availability of Text Cleaner, a tool for reducing text cleanup time to seconds. Em and en dashes, smart quotes and ligatures can be set or removed; unwanted spaces, tabs and returns are eliminated and much more, ensuring laborious search-and-replace tasks are a thing of the past.
Unlike standard search-and-replace, TextCleaner keeps users from having to perform those tasks multiple times over to achieve the desired results. Set up a preset, click once and all cleaning functions are performed simultaneously and in the best possible sequence. No other text preparation tool functions in such a unique, easy-to-use and intelligent manner. This all happens under the hood because Text Cleaner’s simple GUI was designed for novice and advanced users to set and forget.
