TextSoap Universal

TextSoap Universal allows you use TextSoap cleaners within other applications. TextSoap Universal appears as a Status Menu Item towards the right side of your menu bar.

To clean text, you select the text you want to work with in your application and then select the cleaner from the Status Menu Item's list. The text from your application is copied to the clipboard, processed and then pasted back into the application.

Note: Using TextSoap Universal will change the contents of your clipboard.

Groups

To change the current Group, select from the Groups submenu. The main TextSoap Universal menu will be updated with the items from the selected group.

Show (Hide) Palette

This option will toggle showing a global palette window that can be used in most applications. It is useful if you are using TextSoap more extensively with a single piece of text. Additionally it provides access to the Library Group which, because of its large collection size, is less suitable for menu display. You can optionally filter the text, just as you do inside the application.

Cleaners

After Groups and Show Palette, the name of the group is displayed, along with the cleaners in that group. Group item separators and labels are also supported.

Additional Options

Open TextSoap will launch the application if it is not already running and activate it.

TextSoap Preferences will launch the application if it is not already running and open the General Preferences tab.

Enabling TextSoap Universal

To enable TextSoap, select TextSoap > Preferences and select the General tab.

Select the "Show TextSoap Universal in menu bar and add it to Login Items"

Note: Enabling TextSoap Universal also adds it to your login items so that it will launch at startup (or login). It will launch the TextSoap application only when first needed.
