What you get

- Words and lines stay.Letters, digits, spaces and line breaks are not touched.
- Instant result.It updates with every keystroke, with no button.
What you can do
- Delete punctuation of many languages, such as . , ; : ! ? quotes, brackets, slashes and dashes.
- Delete apostrophes and hyphens as well, so "don't" becomes "dont".
- Prepare text for word counting, keyword lists or text analysis.
- Copy the clean words with one click.
Good to know
- Words joined by a hyphen or slash run together: "well-known" becomes "wellknown". Replace those with a space first if needed.
- Symbols such as + = < > $ ^ ~ are not punctuation and stay.
- A space next to a mark stays, so you may get double spaces. Use "Remove extra spaces" afterwards.
