Fix tilted text

Question

Hi again, I was wondering, is there any way to fix tilted text? I got about a thousand text layers on psd files that have been tilted using the free transform tool, and I need those layers to be straight, normal, I can fix some of them manually, but some others are not so easy to spot and end up messing my work, so I was wondering if there's some kind of script that undoes(?) that. Maybe even a script that makes a new clean copy of the layer? I honestly dunno how this can be fixed, so I'd love some help here. Thanks. Here's a little visual representation of my problem. Thanks again &#128578;

If you only need to cancel the transformation, then you can do this

var layer0 = app.activeDocument.activeLayer;

var r = new ActionReference();    
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("textKey"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("layer"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

var textKey = executeActionGet(r).getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("textKey"));
textKey.erase(stringIDToTypeID("transform"));

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putClass(stringIDToTypeID( "textLayer"));
var d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("using"), stringIDToTypeID("textLayer"), textKey);
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("make"), d, DialogModes.NO);

layer0.remove();

The following "Undeform" script automates this and works on multiple selected layers: https://www.mightyplugins.cc/magic-scriptshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0ZWyNQvAbQ
