Text Converter 1.0.2 is a powerful and splendid tool which does not only convert Windows texts to Macintosh format, it can convert practically all text encodings you will ever encounter. Ever got text files that you could not read, or where some characters were messed up? With this tool, if everything else fails, you can easily define your own custom conversions.

TextCoderService is a service plug-in that will convert text in one format into another from any application that supports the Services menu available in Mac OS X (virtually any Cocoa app and many Carbon apps).

It supports the following conversions:

Base-64 to UTF-8
Base-64 to UTF-16
FourCharCodes to Hex and Comment
Hex to C-style Byte Array
Hex to UTF-8
Hex to UTF-16
Java Unicode Escape
Java Unicode Unescape
Number to Binary/Decimal/Hex/Octal Number
UTF-8 to Base-64
UTF-8 to Hex
UTF-16 to Base-64
UTF-16 to Hex.

Perl Conversion Scripts is a collection of short scripts to convert data between different character encodings. Currently supported are Macintosh to ISO-8859-1, ISO to Mac, ISO to UTF-8, UTF-8 to ISO, Mac to UTF-8 and UTF-8 to Mac.They are very handy as BBEdit Perl Filters on Mac OS X where you can select some content in a text editor window and run the desired conversion script.

Text Corrector is a contextual menu plugin. It allows you to perform some operations on selected text.

Select some text in any application and call contextual menu for selection (Ctrl-click). In Text Correction submenu select desired operation. If application supports Apple Events Model then selected text will be replaced with result of correction.

If text cannot be replaced in fly (you will hear system alert sound in that case), that means application you are using does not support Apple Events Model. But you still can use Text Corrector, because correction result is stored in Clipboard as well, so you can use Command-V and paste it anywhere you want.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
