Text editors are essential for any journalist. They help you create and edit text, making your work easier and faster. But what if you don’t have a lot of time to spend editing text? What if you want to be able to work on your work while you’re on the go? That’s where a text editor like Jarte comes in. With Jarte, you can easily keep your work organized and streamlined, so you can focus on the task at hand. Jarte is perfect for journalists who need a quick and easy way to edit text without having to spend too much time learning how it works. It’s also great for those who want an editor that is streamline their workflow, so they can focus on their reporting instead of learning how to use an editor in depth.

Note: Jarte comes in “Exe and Portable” versions.

Installation & Startup

One of the nice features present during the installation is the ability to choose which dictionaries that you would like to have added. Notice that even if you installed all of the dictionaries that less than 10 MB of disk space would be required.

Once the installation has finished and Jarte starts for the first time you will be presented with the EULA.

After accepting the EULA this is what Jarte looks like. At that moment it will have a minimalist UI that can be modified/expanded to best suit your needs. The fourteen different “toolbar buttons” that are visible across the top are all drop-down menus that allow you to access the various functions while keeping the UI as uncluttered as you desire.

Jarte in Action

Here is Jarte with all of the UI features active. The left side has a “Tools Sidebar” with switchable panels to give you easy access to the features that you need most. There is also a regular “Menu Toolbar” for those who prefer a more traditional menu system. Notice the “Research & Find Toolbars” that are visible directly beneath the “Tab Bar”.

Here is an example document to give you an idea of what Jarte can do. Jarte is very smooth and easy to work with.

When it is time to save your documents, Jarte can save them in .rtf, .doc, and .txt format.

Conclusion

If you have been looking for a good solid text editor for your computer that is not bloated, then Jarte will be a pleasant and enjoyable surprise.
