Updated today

Replace Words lets you automatically replace specific phrases when importing text. It is useful for improving readability, or for removing a recurring phrase every time.

Open Import Settings

On the Reading List, tap the Settings button (gear icon), then tap Import Settings.

Tap Replace Words.

Add a rule

Tap + in the top-right corner.

Enter a Phrase and Replacement, then tap Save.

If you leave Replacement empty, you can use it to delete the phrase.

Replace text around the phrase (optional)

From Replace All Around Phrase, you can choose to replace all text after the found phrase, or all text before it.

This option applies only to the first occurrence of the phrase found in the text.

Reorder and delete rules

Rules are applied from top to bottom. To change the priority, tap Edit and drag to reorder.

To delete a rule, swipe left on the rule.

Notes

To revert a replacement on an already imported item, you need to import the original text again.
