unmarked software cleans up TextSoap 6
OK, when a Mac application has a fun word like "soap" in the name, you just have to roll with the puns. Please forgive me.The developers at unmarked software have scrubbed the dickens out of TextSoap, their text processing application for Mac OS X. Some dirty bugs had besmirched the application, especially in the trial version, so unmarked lathered up the code and washed 'em out. Now they're bubbling over with clean news about TextSoap 6.2.1.
Bad puns aside, TextSoap 6.2.1 also adds some new improvements to the venerable text processor. You can read a complete list of changes on the TextSoap 6 history page. If you're not familiar with TextSoap, it brings powerful text processing and cleaning tools to just about any other app through the rarely-used OS X Services Menu. Plugins are provided for other applications such as Coda, BBEdit, and TextWrangler.
If you own version 4 or 5 of TextSoap, unmarked would like to remind you that you can still upgrade to 6.2.1 for US$24.95. Those of you who are trying out TextSoap for the first time can use the free trial, and then consider purchasing the application for US$39.95.
(While we're talking about soap, check out that cool Macintosh apple-scented iPhone soap in the photo!)

I have upgraded TextSoap enough, $25.00 is for an upgrade of $39.00 application. I understand that development cost money but IMO $25.00 upgrade seems like a lot for what TextSoap does.

Among other things, it can strip out line endings (for example when you copy email text from web Gmail. It can do a whole lot more of course, that's just 1 example.
Devon Technologies has a free plugin that is sort of a lite version, I use it a lot for cleaning up text.

It doesn't matter if a pro-noun starts with an uncapitalised letter, you capitalise is anyway!
Or move it elsewhere in the sentence.

I agree, why isn't the title of this article capitalized?

Oh, wait, I get it, the company's name is unmarked, no capital letter.
Sorry for my silly comment that I didn't think through.

What is the Customer cleaner Editor Feature? and what is the Additional Application Feature?

I know it's for the little footnote at the bottom of the article, but the inclusion of that iPhone-y picture makes the story a little confusing at first glance, as it has no relevance to iPhone.
