TextShine

A powerful, graphical text conversion utility.

Overview

Easily paste text from the clipboard or load text from a file, modify the text with loads of built-in text actions and user-created custom text workflows, and save the changes to the clipboard or to a file.

In addition to the built-in actions, TextShine allows you to create and test custom text conversion workflows. These custom workflows can then be used in the same way that built-in actions are used within the application.
