Diacritics Remover

Writing systems developed differently across the globe, with special characters used to create custom sounds. For instance, a large variety of languages rely on diacritics, which are symbols above or below regular characters. Having them inside file names might cause issues, but you can use Diacritics Remover to remove or rename target files.

On the one hand, you don’t have to go through a setup process to make the application work, so you can see what it’s all about from the moment download is done. On the other hand, it’s possible to store it on a removable storage device in case you always want to have it at hand, without affecting the stability of the target PC, because registry entries remain intact.

Running the application brings up a default browse dialog so you quickly get started. Subfolders are included in the process, but it’s a good idea to load the host folder if you know exactly where the troublesome files are located. Content is of no importance, because the application only targets file names.

Scanning files and folders takes little to no time at all, with results shown in a new window. Files aren’t processed on the spot, just in case you change your mind. The application displays original path and file names, as well as how these look like after the renaming operation.

Truth be told, the application does quite a good job at detecting and removing diacritics. Original characters aren’t replaced, and only diacritics get removed. Sadly, there’s no option to select what files to process, and starting the rename operation affects all of them.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Diacritics Remover is sure to come in handy in case you encounter file management issues because of names which contain diacritics. All files and folders inside a target directory are processed, showing a preview before you initiate the operation.
