About the Word to Text Converter

Sometimes formatting is the problem. Text going into a code file, a CMS field, a database, a prompt or a system that accepts plain text only needs the words and nothing else — and a .docx is a zip full of XML, not a text file.

Drop the document here and get the words back, with paragraph breaks kept and everything else removed: fonts, colours, headings, tables, images and revision marks all gone. Choose whether paragraphs are separated by a blank line or a single one, and whether runs of empty lines are collapsed. The word count, character count and reading time come with it. Nothing is uploaded, which matters when the document is a draft contract or an unpublished manuscript.
