TextSoap ReviewVery good - if you manipulate text for the web you should have TextSoap - Version: 5.7.2, 12/13/2007 02:03AM PST

TextSoap used to be almost one of a kind. The find and replace filters functionality is now built into BBEdit (sort of).

But it doesn't matter. The list of prepared filters and the convenience of putting the ones you use a lot into your MyList and having all of them accessible via plugin for BBEdit and Eudora (a few other apps as well) as well as services is well worth the fee.

I build really elaborate combined filters which turn the Word/IE/Outlook mangled junk my clients send to me into beautiful html ready plain text with a single click. It's a bit trial and error but once you get it right, it's a huge time saver.

If you are manipulating text, especially for the web, you owe it to yourelf to get TextSoap.

Occasionally testy developer though. A lot of these developers are like that. If they were better at customer relations they probably wouldn't be programmers. Human interface is not code interface. Mark is reliable and will get back to you though.

Go ahead - take the plunge. Have the tools you need in one place.

TextSoap ReviewBest in Class - Version: 5.7.2, 11/15/2007 08:50AM PST

TextSoap is so useful on so many levels that there is no competition. Constant revisions keep TextSoap in first place. Spring for the Deluxe addition to begin with and the upgrades will be less painful.

Performs functions that are useful to me. I use it multiple times per day.

Services menu operations are extremely convenient.

Combine Menu Master from Unsanity (to assign keystrokes to a service menu item) with a QuicKeys toolbar to execute the keystroke to have a text cleaning system within applications such as Scrivener, Mori or DEVONthink Pro.

Give it a test drive
