What Vovsoft Text Edit Plus is
Vovsoft Text Edit Plus is a Windows plain-text editor for creating, modifying, and analyzing text documents. It opens TXT, CSV, and HTML files and includes tabs, macro recording, spell checking, syntax highlighting, dark mode, regular expressions, and PDF export. Bulk text tools can sort, split, reverse, randomize, filter, trim, or combine lines, and remove empty or duplicate lines. Its analysis module produces text statistics and word frequencies; CSV export of those statistics requires the licensed edition. Encoding tools support UTF-8 and UTF-16, detect Unicode, encode and decode text, and repair broken UTF-8. Vovsoft offers installer and portable downloads for Windows 11, 10, 8/8.1, 7, and Vista, in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. A trial edition is available, while the license costs 19.00 USD as a one-time payment and includes lifetime use and future updates. The trial has ads, a nag screen, no commercial use, and no statistics CSV export.
