 # String Essentials - Custom nodes for ComfyUI
 
-Easy to use string manipulation nodes for ComfyUI (strip/remove multiple text strings or search and replace text strings). Particularly useful for modifying text from LLM outputs (Ollama, Claude.ai, OpenAI ChatGPT), such as prompts or image-to-text description results. Nodes will be located under standard `Add Node` > `utils` menu. 
+Simple string manipulation nodes for ComfyUI (strip/remove text strings, search and replace text strings, preview modified string outputs). Particularly useful for modifying text from LLM outputs (Ollama, Claude.ai, OpenAI ChatGPT), such as prompts or image-to-text description results. No bloat/additional Python dependencies or external modules required. Nodes use a small amount of basic Python and Javascript code.

 ## Features
 - Remove or replace text, words, numbers in input strings
