# ← ComfyTV Text

> **Out-bridge**: **COMFYTV_TEXT** snapshot → native **STRING**. **No ▶ Run** — passes string on Queue.

## What this node does

ComfyTV **Text Stage** or **→ ComfyTV Text** produces **`COMFYTV_TEXT`**. Native nodes (CLIP Text Encode, Show Text, LLM chains) expect **`STRING`**. **← ComfyTV Text** returns the string as-is — no disk IO.

ComfyTV-generated copy → other native ComfyUI branches.

## When to use it

* **Text Stage** narrative → native CLIP compare
* ComfyTV prompt chain → third-party STRING tools
* Debug with Show Text

## How it works

* Normal node; `execute` → `str(text)`.
* No Run; runs on Queue.

## Types

| ComfyTV        | Native   |
| -------------- | -------- |
| `COMFYTV_TEXT` | `STRING` |

[bridges.md](https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/blob/main/docs/bridges.md)

## Parameters

### text

Upstream **COMFYTV\_TEXT**.

## Outputs

| Output     | Type           |
| ---------- | -------------- |
| **STRING** | ComfyUI STRING |

## Step by step

1. Run **Text Stage** or **→ ComfyTV Text**.
2. Wire **← ComfyTV Text**.
3. STRING → CLIP Text Encode, etc.
4. Queue graph.
