eTextWizard Standard Edition

eTextWizard Standard Edition is a lightweight Windows application that helps you with performing several file conversions: HTML to CHM, text to CHM, as well as HTML to text.

The utility is able to rename files, decompile CHM items and get the source files, as well as Convert Chinese Gb2312 to/from Chinese Big5. All of the aforementioned actions can be carried out using batch tasks, which means you can process multiple files at the same time.

You are welcomed by a plain GUI that makes use of a multi-tabbed environment for helping you gain access to the key features of the program. A help manual can be consulted in case you have any questions regarding the app’s capabilities.

eTextWizard Standard Edition implements an Explorer-like panel for helping you browse throughout the content of the files and folders stored in your computer.

You are allowed to select the source folder that contains the files that you want to convert, apply filters by file extension (e.g. HTML, TXT), specify the target location, and enable several options, such as process all subfolders separately, view the results in a dedicated panel, and keep temporary files.

The application gives you the possibility to preview the content of text file, such as TXT and HTML, directly in the main window, and look for files in a user-defined root folder by extension.

eTextWizard Standard Edition lets you rename files by changing only the prefix or suffix, convert all filenames to lowercase or uppercase letters, generate index file for the items in the selected path, convert the file or text from GB2312 code to Big5, or vice versa, as well as recover all source files, such as HTML, plain text and image files, from one CHM file.

In conclusion, eTextWizard Standard Edition integrates a bunch of smart features under the hood for helping you perform file conversions. On the downside, the GUI cannot be considered highly intuitive, so rookies may need to arm themselves with extra patient in order to understand how the tool works.
