Hi everybody,

I'm actually looking for a software to convert a website text into .doc/.docx/.txt format. I've been looking for a while, but all I can find are "website hoovers" (I don't need them, I don't want to save an entire website on my pc) or HTML extractors (or similar devices).
I need the software in order to count words and tell a client the correct price for a translation.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

There is an HTML -> txt converter in my grab bag, but given the large number of convenient options, I don't think you should bother with it.
If you would like to do a word count on a collection of HTML files in one go, your best bet is a CAT. ▲ Collapse
