Killer Text Processing: TextSpresso

... when you need to manage lots of text

Taylor Design is proud to announce the return of one of the most highly decorated and powerful text editing and filtering applications ever to hit the Mac market. Taylor Design has released TextSpresso 3.0b1 for both Mac OS X and Windows (98/ME/2000/XP). The TextSpresso 3.0b1 release represents a rewrite of the original code base and offers new features, much better support for Mac OS X, and a new Windows version.

TextSpresso 3's new features include:

* Global Filter Menu which lets users filter text in other applications by simply selecting the text and then selecting the filter from the global menu.

* Global Filter Palette which lets users filter text in other applications by simply selecting the text and then double clicking the filter in the palette.

* A new text display engine which can display and edit hundreds of MB's of text and data quickly and efficiently, enabling TextSpresso to deal with files that literally choke competing products.

* BASIC Script filter type which lets users create filters using the BASIC programming language. BASIC Script filters can process text in ways that go behind search and replace and can even access the web.

* Text filtering and display engines updated for Unicode with file encoding conversion for dozens of text encodings on both Mac OS and Windows.

TextSpresso 3.0b1 is available now from the Taylor Design web site and is a free upgrade for registered users. Others may download it and use it for free for up to 30 days. TextSpresso can be registered via Taylor Design's secure online store and by postal mail.
