Text Converter

Sure enough general text on a computer can be understood by the majority of individuals, but for a computer, text is more than just different types of characters. Just like files, text comes under different encoding formats not to mix regular messages with specialized, programming types. As such, Text Converter provides a little insight on this matter, allowing you to change between several different encoding formats.

On the one hand, the application doesn’t need to be installed in order to work, so you can simply store it on a thumb drive and use it on other computers besides your own. This keeps the target PC’s health status intact, because registries are not a dependency. What is required though, is .NET Framework, so you need to check if it’s on the PC you use it.

The main window is pretty clean, allowing you to accommodate from the first few seconds in. Two sections are there so you can select the input format, write down text, while the other serves as the output, functioning in a similar manner. You can switch input with output at just the press of a button.

Input and output support the same types of text formats such as plain text, binary, ASCII, HEX, octal, base64, ROT13, as well as NOT. Some also come with specific parameters, which are easily selected from a drop-down menu, and can simply refer to character group delimiters.

One practical advantage of the application is to encrypt messages, with two of the mentioned formats being dedicated to this purpose. Content can be easily modified, and copied for both input and output text fields. Saving, on the other hand, can only be done to a TXT file, regardless of content.

To sum it up, Text Converter is a lightweight, but powerful application which helps you convert text between various popular, specialized formats, or even encrypt it with a couple of algorithms. Portability allows for a great deal of flexibility, while the simplicity in design lets anyone take advantage of its set of features, with little effort.
