Manually splitting hundreds of sentences is prone to error and time-consuming.

How to use

Outcome

The tool outputs a clean list of sentences, each on a new line, ready for immediate translation.

How to use

Paste the notes into the tool and enable 'Add Line Numbers'.

Outcome

The researcher receives a numbered list of sentences, allowing them to easily cite 'Sentence 4' or 'Sentence 12' in their bibliography.
