  Summary

  After trying some other text cleaning software, I stumbled upon this gem. TextSoap has a huge number of ready-made "cleaners" or text converters that are neatly organized into groups. But for me, the ability to customize my own cleaner was its best feature. This software is also very well supported by the developer. I am a student and I needed a complex workflow to make changes to all my class notes--I was spending hours doing this before I found TextSoap.
  
  I was clueless about using regular expressions so I asked the developer for help. As it turned out, my workflow needed more than a few regular expressions. The developer spent a great deal of time over the course of more than a week helping me create a custom solution that integrated both the cleaners in TextSoap and Automator actions. What took me hours before now takes me a few seconds with the custom cleaners. I wish I knew about TextSoap before I wasted time and money trying other software.
