What is Textise?
Textise is a new way of looking at the Web. It’s an internet tool that removes everything from a web page except for its text. In practice, this means that images, forms, scripts, adverts, they all go, leaving plain text.
How to use this page
- Type or paste the URL of a web page into the box below and click "Textise". A text only version of the web page will be displayed.
- Type a search term into the box, select a search engine from the drop-down list, and click "Search". You will be taken to a text only version of the search results.
Textise will also display search forms on selected sites (for example bbc.co.uk, amazon.com) if enabled on the Options page.
It offers options like font size, font color, background color, background texture, text width, right-hand border, link destination, link appearance, and much more.
Textise also offers a bookmarklet, which is an easy way to flip in and out of text-only mode. Just drag the link below into the bookmarks toolbar of your browser and you're done!
The bookmarklet works with most major browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Safari. To use the bookmarklet, just click to convert a page to text or, if you're already in text-only mode, click to view the original page.
Comments and Reviews
Interesting. Very simple text. Keeps the links. Like having a reader view without needing an extension. Handles some complex sites well, but not all.
