NeatPaste is a text cleanup app that fixes messed-up text. Paste an AI answer and the ## and ** are still sitting there. Paste from a PDF and one sentence is spread over four lines. Paste from a web page and stray spaces come along for the ride. Paste it here, press Format, and it's fixed. Then copy it into Mail, Word, Notion β€” wherever it was going. β–« FEATURES β–Ό THREE WAYS TO CLEAN Smart Clean Rejoins line breaks cut mid-sentence. Collapses runs of spaces. Turns curly quotes back into straight ones. Strips characters you can't see. AI Clean Removes the # and ## heading markers and the ** emphasis markers left in AI answers, so it reads as prose. Bullet dashes stay. PDF Repair Rejoins the line breaks a PDF left behind. Puts words split by an end-of-line hyphen back together. Drops lines that are nothing but a page number. β–Ό INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS Remove line breaks / Normalize spaces / Straighten quotes / Clean up blank lines / Full-width to half-width Only the action you press runs. If the text holds tables, quotes or indented lists, you get a heads-up first. β–Ό EVERY CLEANUP CHECKS THAT NOTHING WENT MISSING Every cleanup compares before and after, and shows the result in one line right under the output. For example: Text with 3 numbers, 3 URLs, 3 bullet items and 3 headings, cleaned up with none of them lost β€’ Kept Numbers 3, URLs 3, Bullet items 3, Headings 3 One URL came out different β€’ URLs: 1 changed in content It compares numbers, decimals, percentages, amounts, dates, times, URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, bullet counts, numbered-list counts, heading counts, Markdown links, code blocks and any terms you registered. Tap the line and the per-item counts open, before β†’ after. "A URL or an email address is gone." "An amount or a date changed." When that happens, you get one confirmation right before you copy or export, and you decide whether to go on. β–Ό AFTER THE CLEANUP β€’ Copy β€’ Export as PDF β€’ Undo puts the last cleanup back β€’ Send text in from another app's share menu and it comes back cleaned, copied, with the check in one line iPhone, iPad and Mac. On a wide screen the original and the result sit side by side. β–Ό PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE) ADDS β€’ Cleans inside mail quotes and indented lists as well β€’ Removes the company or document name that repeats on every page of a PDF β€’ Six destinations to shape the text for: Email, Word/Google Docs, Apple Notes, Notion, Markdown, an AI prompt box β€’ Shows what changed between the input and the result, item by item β€’ Puts back only the parts you didn't want removed β€’ Registers terms the cleanup must leave alone β€” names, companies, model numbers, projects β€’ Chooses what gets compared after a cleanup β€’ Turns the fix you make every single time into your own rule, saved per mode No subscription. One-time purchase. Shared across iPhone, iPad and Mac. Restore it from the purchase screen. β–Ό PRIVACY Everything runs on your device. Your text never leaves it. Your text is not saved. It is not sent anywhere. No external AI service is called. The app goes online only to open the legal pages, to ask for a review, and to handle a purchase. No account. No ads.

About

Simple Voice Reader

Features
Read full description

Simple Voice Reader is a free text-to-speech app for iPhone and iPad that reads pasted or typed text, TXT files, RTF files, and PDFs aloud. Open supported documents from Files, use the import button, or drag text and files directly into the reader on iPad. American English Apple system voices work immediately. For the best Apple voice quality, download Apple's free Enhanced and Premium voices in Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content > Voices > English. On compatible iOS 26 devices, you can also download an optional American English Kokoro voice pack with Heart and 19 other natural voices. The pack is about 170 MB, downloads once from Apple, and can be removed at any time. Use Simple Voice Reader when you want to listen instead of read: long articles, notes, drafts, manuals, study material, book chapters, accessibility material, or anything else you can paste or import. Choose a voice, adjust speed, change the reading font and size, start from the cursor, pause and resume, and follow the highlighted words as the reader moves through the text. Apple speech continues when the app moves to the background or the screen locks, with pause, resume, and stop controls on the Lock Screen and in Control Center. If Kokoro cannot continue because the device needs more memory or the app moves to the background, reading continues with the selected Apple voice. Privacy: text-to-speech conversion with Apple and Kokoro voices is performed on the user's device. Simple Voice Reader does not send text, documents, or spoken audio to Walter Claw Software or to a cloud text-to-speech service. iOS may contact Apple only to download system voice assets and the optional Apple-hosted Kokoro voice pack selected by the user. Simple Voice Reader is free. No account, purchase, or subscription is required.
