PureText

PureText is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you convert rich formatting text to plain text.
Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you to need perform conversion operations on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.
PureText sports a clean and straightforward layout that lets you configure the dedicated parameters with minimum effort. It runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals only a few configuration settings.
The tool gives you the possibility to carry out the conversion operation by simply selecting the text and copy it to the clipboard. You need to click on the PureText tray icon and then paste the clipboard content in any third-party utility. The pasted text is automatically converted to plain text.
One of the best features included in this program enables you to assign a hotkey to be used to activate PureText and convert the clipboard content on the breeze.
You are allowed to select the hotkey from a drop-down menu, make the app automatically paste the converted text into the currently selected window, play sound notifications, and run the utility at Windows startup.
During our testing we have noticed that PureText accomplishes a task very quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance is not affected.
All in all, PureText seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that bundles only a few parameters for helping you convert rich formatting text.
