How QuickSum turns copied text into a clean total
QuickSum is intentionally small: it focuses on the repeated moment when you have numbers in text and need a trustworthy total fast.
The design principle
Do not force users to clean the text first.
Show the calculation trail instead of hiding it.
Keep the result easy to copy back into real work.
The three steps inside QuickSum
Read copied text from the clipboard.
Extract numeric values while filtering obvious noise.
Build an editable expression and calculate the total.
Best practice
Copy only the relevant text when possible.
Review extracted values before using the total.
Edit the expression when you need to exclude a number.
Copy the final clean result.
What QuickSum is not

QuickSum keeps the calculation step visible, editable, and fast.
