TextOn

TextOn is a pretty cool tool that makes working with documents easier. You can open existing files, edit them, and even have everything read out loud to you! This way, you can focus on the important stuff without getting distracted.

Easy to Use Without Installation

One of the best things about TextOn is that it doesn’t need an installer. That means you won't waste any time setting it up. Plus, it fits nicely on a thumb drive! So wherever you go, you’ll have a reliable editing tool ready to help, without messing with your computer’s settings.

Simple Interface for Your Thoughts

The main area of TextOn is a text pad where you can jot down all your ideas and tasks. However, it does have some limitations. For instance, there's no word or character count feature, and it won’t help you number lines if you're writing source code. Rulers for aligning paragraphs? Nope, those aren’t included either.

Flexible Document Support

You can work with text documents in formats like TXT and RTF, as well as its own format called TOF. While tabs aren’t supported, the cool part is that you can run multiple copies of the app at once! This lets you handle different documents more easily. It also supports importing and exporting these file types without issues.

Edit Options Are Basic but Useful

Edit options are pretty straightforward—copy, cut, paste, undo, and redo are all there. But there’s no built-in search function to quickly find specific text strings. On the bright side, you can change the font type and color in your document!

Built-In Text-to-Speech Feature

A standout feature of TextOn is its built-in text-to-speech option. With just one click, you can have any written text read back to you! However, keep in mind that there’s no way to save or export this audio layer.

Final Thoughts on TextOn

In summary, while TextOn has room for improvement compared to other editing tools out there—especially when it comes to handling plain and rich text—it’s definitely worth trying out! Its portability lets you edit multiple documents at once across different computers easily.
