"Convert Microsoft Word to plain text
Most of the time when I'm writing content for the web (for this blog, or a forum comment, or whatever), I'll write in Microsoft Word for the spell check and other features that aren't in a standard textarea widget, and then I'll cut and paste into the form on the site.
The problem is that this carries all of the high characters ("smart-quotes" and the like) that MS Word makes straight through to the site - and most sites aren't set up to handle them. They expect plain ("Latin") text.
A solution: this script converts text copied from MS word into plain text. Paste your input into the top box, press clean, and the input will be scrubbed and sent to the lower box."

"Vibby could be a good tool to use when you want to share with your students just a few pieces of a larger video. Using the comments in highlighted sections could be a good way to call attention to important parts of a video or to add further explanation to a section."
