What punctuation marks are removed?

The tool removes all standard punctuation marks including periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, colons, quotation marks, apostrophes, parentheses, brackets, braces, hyphens, and other special characters.

Can I preserve word separation when removing punctuation?

Yes, you can choose different methods: 'Replace with Spaces' maintains word separation, while 'Remove All' creates continuous text without any punctuation or spaces between words.

Is this useful for NLP and machine learning?

Absolutely! Punctuation removal is a common preprocessing step in natural language processing. It helps normalize text data and can improve the performance of text analysis algorithms, sentiment analysis, and machine learning models.

Does it work with large documents?

Yes, the tool efficiently processes large documents using optimized JavaScript algorithms. However, for extremely large texts (hundreds of pages), processing might take a few seconds.

Can I customize which punctuation to remove?

Currently, the tool offers preset methods for common needs. For specific punctuation removal, you can preprocess your text using other tools and then apply the punctuation remover.

What about international characters and accents?
