-ComfyUI Prompt Manager functions as a drop-in replacement for ComfyUI's standard `CLIPTextEncode` node while adding comprehensive prompt management and automatic image tracking features:
+ComfyUI Prompt Manager provides two powerful node types for comprehensive prompt management:
 
+### **PromptManager** (CLIP Encoding Node)
+A drop-in replacement for ComfyUI's standard `CLIPTextEncode` node with database features:
 - **🔄 Drop-in Replacement**: Works exactly like the standard text encoder
+- **🤖 CLIP Encoding**: Outputs CONDITIONING for use with samplers and other CLIP-dependent nodes
+
+### **PromptManagerText** (Text-Only Node)
+A text-focused variant that outputs raw STRING for maximum flexibility:
+- **📝 Pure Text Output**: Outputs STRING type for use with any text-accepting node
+- **🔗 Text Concatenation**: Built-in prepend/append functionality for dynamic text assembly
+- **⚡ Lightweight Processing**: No CLIP encoding overhead for text-only workflows
+
+### **Shared Features**
+Both nodes include the complete PromptManager feature set:
 - **💾 Persistent Storage**: Automatically saves all prompts to a local SQLite database
 - **🔍 Advanced Search**: Query past prompts with text search, category filtering, and metadata
 - **🖼️ Automatic Image Gallery**: Automatically links generated images to their prompts

 ### Core Functionality
 
+#### PromptManager (CLIP Encoding)
 - **Text Encoding**: Standard CLIP text encoding for ComfyUI workflows
+- **Conditioning Output**: Produces CONDITIONING for samplers and generation nodes
+- **Full Compatibility**: Drop-in replacement for CLIPTextEncode nodes
+
+#### PromptManagerText (Text-Only)
+- **String Output**: Produces STRING for use with any text-accepting node  
+- **Text Concatenation**: Prepend and append fields for dynamic text assembly
+- **Lightweight**: No CLIP encoding overhead for pure text workflows
+- **Flexible Integration**: Works with custom nodes, text processors, and other STRING inputs
+
+#### Shared Features
 - **Auto-Save**: Every prompt is automatically saved to the database
 - **Metadata Support**: Optional categories, tags, ratings (1-5), notes, and workflow names
 - **Hash-based Deduplication**: Prevents storing identical prompts multiple times

 ### Basic Usage
 
+#### Using PromptManager (CLIP Encoding)
 Replace any `CLIPTextEncode` node with `PromptManager`:
 
-1. **Add the node** to your workflow
+1. **Add the PromptManager node** to your workflow
 2. **Connect CLIP model** (same as standard text encoder)
 3. **Enter your prompt** in the text field
-4. **Optionally add metadata**:
-   - Category: "portraits", "landscapes", "abstract", etc.
-   - Tags: "detailed, anime, masterpiece" (comma-separated)
-   - Rating: 1-5 stars for prompt quality
-   - Notes: Any additional information
-   - Workflow Name: Name of your workflow for organization
+4. **Connect the CONDITIONING output** to your sampler node
 
-The node will encode your text, automatically save it to the database, and link any generated images to the prompt.
+#### Using PromptManagerText (Text-Only)
+For text-only workflows or when you need STRING output:
+
+1. **Add the PromptManagerText node** to your workflow
+2. **Enter your prompt** in the text field
+3. **Optionally use prepend/append** for dynamic text assembly:
+   - **Prepend Text**: Text added before your main prompt
+   - **Append Text**: Text added after your main prompt
+4. **Connect the STRING output** to any node that accepts text input
+
+#### Shared Metadata Options
+Both nodes support the same metadata fields:
+- **Category**: "portraits", "landscapes", "abstract", etc.
+- **Tags**: "detailed, anime, masterpiece" (comma-separated)
+- **Rating**: 1-5 stars for prompt quality (web interface only)
+- **Notes**: Any additional information (web interface only)
+- **Workflow Name**: Name of your workflow for organization (web interface only)
+
+Both nodes will automatically save prompts to the database and link any generated images to the prompt.
