As of April 2020 I've pretty much gotten tired of working on Textractor, and don't want or plan to do new development beyond minor bug fixes. If your issue can be resolved simply using the existing features of Textractor, I'll tell you how to do so, but if it would require me to develop Textractor significantly or in another way require significant effort from me to troubleshoot, I probably just won't reply: you're on your own.

## Textractor is extracting text *mostly* correctly, but there's some extra characters as markup/garbage (e.g. a `\n` in place of every line break). Is there a way to clean the text? ## Textractor is extracting text *mostly* correctly, but there's some extra characters as markup/garbage (e.g. a `\n` in place of every line break).

Yup, use the `Regex Filter` or `Replacer` extension. Remember to put the extension near the top of the list so the other extensions see the cleaned text.

The translation APIs temporarily ban your IP if you use them too much without an API key. The most reliable solutions are to either supply an API key or use a VPN so your IP gets masked. Using an API key supports the translation provider (for whom the infrastructure to have an API for public use, let alone one that embeds a high quality neural network, is not cheap) while using a VPN is basically stealing...anyway it's your choice.
