To Text Converter for Android

Like many others, my workflows are changing as I do more and more of my work on iOS platforms. Thus I have come to appreciate the utility of .txt files as they can be accessed and used in many ways and using a variety of applications. Having decided to export mountains of quotations from a proprietary database into text files, I was faced with a folder of .rftd files needing conversion. I downloaded this app and it worked perfectly and was amazingly fast (on the latest version of Mountain Lion). I recommend it to anyone needing to convert rich text to plain text. The interface is dead simple and it's a true bargain.

This text does not do what is promised on the most basic level - convert files into clean, "plain" text. I used it to convert thousands of documents, and while it appeared to work on the surface, digging deeper revealed a major flaw: in inserted a phantom (or "gremlin," or "invisible") character in-between EVERY SINGLE LETTER of the file it was converting. This is a HUGE problem for a bunch of reasons, the most basic for someone who is a writer (like me) is that it throws your word counts off by the thousands. 100 word files were coming up with 1000+ word count. Luckily, I was able to fix this through TextWrangler, but I shouldn't have had to. This is hastily-developed abandonware to be avaoided at all costs.

Did not meet my expectations I found the explanations not helpful in relation to understanding what kind of work pdf file. I could not use for any files that I wanted to translate.

I do genealogy as a hobby and have collected thousands of obituaries from the Internet. I have recently started using SiteSucker to download a funeral home's entire website. I go through the collected web pages and drag those with obituaries into TO TEXT CONVERTER. The program does exactly what it says it will do - strips away all of the HTML tags and leaves behind the text. With a little clean-up and formatting, I have the obituary in a fraction of the time that I use to. It's all done off-line line and a much improved work-flow. TO TEXT CONVERTER has worked flawlessly and was a great find at a very reasonable price (despite what the negative reviews say) !!
