Product Description:

So, you get all these emails about events, and you want them to go into iCal, but it is pretty annoying because you can't remember everything about them at once and have to go back and forth copying and pasting a few times between the programs. This is where text2cal comes in - it is a service that allows you to grab all the text at once from your email, select the important times and dates from that grabbed text, and insert the result directly into iCal. It also makes guesses about the times and dates to make it even easier! (currently compatible only with US dates (month/day/year) - come back later for day/month/year compatibility!)

What's new in this version:

  • Attempts to figure out if you're in a m/d/y area or d/m/y area and do the right thing.
  • Added hotkey for using clipboard text instead of selected text for use with incompatible applications

text2cal Usage TipWorks in apps other than Mail - Version: 1.01, 9/3/2007 09:49AM PST

Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I accidentally discovered that not only does text2cal work in other apps besides Mail, but it's also available in the Services menu, too. I have one account on a Microsoft Exchange Server, and I just hightlight the meeting info, press the hot keys and voila - it's in iCal. This feature may well have a shelf life beyond Leopard!

Thank you for this easy-to-use and helpful time-saver. I've been hoping for something like this. One new feature in a future version might be to use the Subject line from Mail for the default appointment title. But then again, is this all going to be obviated by Leopard (someday)?

BTAIM, this is a terrific utility. Thank you for creating it!
