For people who don’t have the best vision, it can sometimes be hard navigating through sites that have a lot of color, graphics and other content aside from text on the page. What if you wanted the cake without all of the icing? Whoever said you couldn’t have a cake and eat it too was wrong. Today, I’ll be showing you how to convert any website into plain-text for free in just two steps!
Textise is a free tool that extracts text from a website and displays it individually for viewers to read easily. Let’s take CATSWeb, for example!
![Textise website with search box filled with "catsweb.cuny.edu".](http://cats.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/Textise-2.png)
Once the process has been completed, you will be shown a plain-text version of the site, which will look like this:
![This is the text-only version of CATSWeb that the Textise website generated. What's more, Textise will generate a special link so that you can share the text-only version of CATSWeb if you want, instead of the regular version of the website! Neat, right?](http://catsweb.cuny.edu/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Textised-Version.png)
To get started with using Textise and start converting your favorite site(s)!
