Text Cleaner 3.01

Text Cleaner - Clean out your document by adding correct dashes, quotes, and more.
Text Cleaner is a frighteningly handy little software tool designed to eliminate tedious repetitive search-and-replace tasks when preparing text for print or Web publication. In moments, traditional typesetting marks are set or removed and common input errors are corrected.

Originally created to speed up production for a select team of designers, Text Cleaner was further developed for the public and became a staple for graphic designers and others who manage a lot of text.

Recipient of the "Spiffy" award from Mac Addict magazine, and a 5-Cow highest rating from Tucows, Text Cleaner has been called "indispensable" by Kleper Report on Digital Publishing.

Text Cleaner is the tool used by graphic designers, editors and web designers, to reduce text cleanup time to seconds. Em and en dashes, smart quotes and ligatures are set or removed, unwanted spaces, tabs, returns are eliminated, and much more, making search-and-replace prep work a thing of the past.

And unlike search-and-replace, you have no need to perform tasks several times over. 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 was meant for you to set it and forget it, although there's plenty to offer power users as well.
