Undash is a simple Chrome plugin that automatically removes long em dashes (—) from AI-generated text when you paste it anywhere: websites, social media, emails, and more. No setup needed. Just install, enable, and paste clean text instantly.

@nirmalnd I have been manually fixing em dashes for months, particularly when I copy and paste AI-generated drafts into Google Docs. Ahhh, this really seems like one of those “why wasn't this available sooner?” tools :)
Does it also detect odd curly quotes or extra spaces while it's at it?

Hi Hamza, thanks for trying out the extension. :)
If you can share some examples on hola@outdoinc.com, I will try to add support for these in the upcoming versions.
Love this idea! It's a great way to make AI-generated text feel more natural. Does Undash work on all websites, or are there specific platforms it has trouble with?

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
I have personally tested this on LinkedIn, Gmail, Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, and few more places and v1.1 is already uploaded (awaiting for Google to release it).
You can give it a try and if it doesn't work, please follow these troubleshooting steps if the extension isn't working as expected:
1. Toggle the extension OFF and ON
2. Check that the badge is green (active)
3. Refresh the browser tab
4. Restart Chrome if needed
5. After paste, click space or try right click and undash the text
6. Make sure at the time of copying the plugin is enabled
If you are still facing the issue, can please share some screenshots/video recording to understand the issue better, so I can get look at fixing those. Please send it on hola@outdoinc.com
Product suggestion: In the next version, include GPT-words replacement. That would be even more impressive.

Great, thanks for this.

I did not know that people are annoyed by them. But it sounds like a new action idea for RewriteBar. :)
Haha, great idea to come up with this! Skipping em dashes cannot be missed in all of my prompts :)
Well I have been craving a simple tool like this for a while and now that you guys have created it and in such a simple way to use I really like this. Just removing these simple em dashes make text feel more human. Thank you

If the extension isn't working as expected, it will be mostly because it is not loaded correctly or in time for it to handle your clipboard.
Try the below steps:
1. Toggle the extension OFF and ON
2. Check that the badge is green (active)
3. Refresh the browser tab
4. Restart Chrome if needed
5. After paste, click space or try right click and undash the text
6. Make sure at the time of copying the plugin is enabled
