1. Getting Started

The Optimizer is a powerful text processing tool designed to clean and standardize AI-generated content. All processing happens locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy.

  • Diacritic removal for international compatibility
  • Citation and reference cleaning
  • Markdown to plain text conversion
  • Fancy Unicode text normalization
  • Experimental em-dash sentence splitting

2. Language Mapping

Language mapping replaces region-specific characters with standardized alternatives according to the selected language profile.
