HovText is a clipboard manager that can remove any text formatting from the copied text, e.g. font face, size, color or other styles. Any text in the clipboard will be pasted as cleartext. It can store and retrieve previous copied texts and images and it is possible to restore the original text formatting.
It is a must-have for the power-users wanting to increase efficiency when dealing with especially text from Office applications or the internet, but also if you often reuse previous copied text or images.

- No need to learn application specific ways for pasting as plaintext - with HovText it works the same way, always
Let us show an example, where we have this formatted text from an internet browser, that we need to copy:
[ Formatted text to be copied - try to copy it ]
|
"genius - genius (fx a mathematical genius; it requires
neither genius nor second sight to prophesy the effects of this policy on the
future output of scientists and engineers); a person of superior intellectual
faculties." |
When you paste this above text in to e.g. Word then HovText will paste this as cleartext-only:
[ Pasted result with HovText running - formatting has been removed ]
|
"genius - genius (fx a mathematical genius; it requires neither genius nor second sight to prophesy the effects of this policy on the future output of scientists and engineers); a person of superior intellectual faculties."
|
Try to do this example in e.g. Word and you will quickly see the difference with or without HovText enabled :-)
Another way to visualize what this is about:
You can the view a list of all previous copied texts or images and you can search/filter to get the exact entry you want:
