Textise is a simpler way of looking at the Web. It’s an internet tool that removes everything from a web page except for its text. In practice, this means that images, forms, scripts, adverts, they all go, leaving plain text.

​​

Textise has been running continually from 2009 and every year since then it's helped tens of thousands of users to view millions of web pages in simple, straightforward text.

​

Textise has many uses –

• It can improve accessibility for the blind and partially-sighted.

• It creates pages that are better for printing when it’s just the words you’re after.

• It allows safer navigation to suspicious web-sites.

• It can make cluttered pages easier to read.

• It can show you what a search engine sees when it scans a web page – great for SEO!

• It can show you what a screen reader sees when it processes a web page – great for ensuring accessibility!

• It can help with web research.

• It can help web developers add maintenance-free text only links to their web sites.

​

Textise works in real time, meaning that it produces a text-only version of the very latest version of a web page. Unlike other solutions, it does not require costly intervention every time the layout of a page is changed.
