Encoding Repair Studio is a fast desktop text encoding analyzer, mojibake recovery workbench, whitespace normalizer, and recursive batch folder transcoder for Linux. Inspect raw byte streams across UTF-8, UTF-8-BOM, UTF-16 LE/BE, UTF-32, CP1258, CP1252, ISO-8859-1, and Shift-JIS, un-garble double-encoded UTF-8 mojibake (including Vietnamese and European accented text), audit mixed line endings and trailing spaces, and convert whole folders cleanly.

Key Features:

• Charset Detector & Mojibake Repair: Pure-Python byte analyzer identifying UTF-8, UTF-8-BOM, UTF-16 LE/BE, UTF-32, CP1258, CP1252, ISO-8859-1, and Shift-JIS with confidence scoring, candidate rankings, double-encoded UTF-8 recovery, and live before/after diff.
• Line-Ending & Whitespace Normalizer: Audits CRLF vs LF vs mixed line endings, BOM bytes, non-breaking spaces, zero-width marks, and trailing whitespace with visible-marker preview and one-click normalization.
• Batch Folder Transcoder: Recursively converts source code, subtitle, and plain-text directories to clean UTF-8 (no BOM) with LF or CRLF endings and exports a detailed CSV audit report.
