Windows/Mac/Linux: The email arrived with tab breaks everywhere, excess spacing, strange Word-conversion characters, and you just don’t have time for this. CleanHaven is there, on any system, to fix the text any way you need it, whether it’s human or computer error.
Paste in whatever text you’ve got, then pick from the drop-down menus and sections up top what you need fixed. CleanHaven knows how to patch up capitalization and spelling errors, sure, but can also sort items in alphabetical or numerical order, strip out excess spaces or tabs, quickly repair broken email or HTML copies, and otherwise do the things you’d grumble about while doing manually. There’s also a find-and-replace function that’s pretty powerful, and analysis options for seeing the frequency of words and phrases.
When you’ve picked out what needs fixing, the results appear in a window with a quick copy-all button. CleanHaven is easy to get used to, and since it runs on all three major operating systems, it might make good sense to keep it handy wherever you go. It’s a free download for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems.
