Final Compare

Text data, as simple as it might be, it can pose serious challenges if you need to perform very specific tasks, such as comparisons, in order to find differences. Short of doing this manually, users can rely on specialized apps, which can determine such differences for them in a more effective manner. One such app is Final Compare, which will provide users with a centralized platform for automatically identifying and highlighting all differences in two separate text files.

There’s a familiarity to the application’s interface, and it resembles that of a more advanced text editor. The on-screen line indicators, quick access features, and all the other elements, make up for a good set of tools for visualizing and working with the text.

Speaking of text, the application accepts only two files at a time, and this might be one aspect to consider, especially if you have multiple files and wish to process the differences in them simultaneously.

Having added the two texts, it’s just a matter of initiating the difference checker and the app will highlight all the discrepancies in several colors, which can be easily adjusted to your own preferences, using the customizer.

For those who seek that extra bit of functionality, the app does offer it, in the form of several, dedicated tools, for merging text, imposing exceptions for the comparison process or, differential highlighting, for particular elements.

This application is a good asset to consider if you wish to reduce the processing time considerably if you’re dealing with text comparisons and difference identifying processes.
