I’ve been using TextMaker for years, and I love it so much, because it starts quickly, runs without crashes and is highly compatible to Microsoft Word. It even has some easy to use, but powerful desktop publishing functions. The paid version of SoftMaker Office has some additional goodies and is quite affordable. You can upgrade from FreeOffice for a reduced price; at least in the past this was possible.

Early versions of TextMaker 2018 for Linux used to crash sometimes after copying and pasting text. But the SoftMaker developers are constantly fixing bugs, and one of the service packs finally fixed this problem. So I can say that TextMaker is a really good product.

Not Freemium; commercial ($) software.

Text maker is a well working alternative to MS Word. The UI is almost identical. You can choose to use the app specific file format or use MS Word’s docx. The quality of the docx files is frequently reviewed as very good. People using Linux can use the Linux version; there is also suppport of Libre Office’s odt files. The license terms are generous, you can install on 5 computers, no matter which OS. If you pay extra for the pro version, you also get some additional features, though one of the most relevant, an improved style and grammar checker only works for German.

I need a fast starting, small font print full featured word processor that could handle modern formats. After trying every OpenSource and main steam commercial thing I could possibly I decide to give TextMaker a go. Overall it hasn't let me down it handles all the major file formats with great compatibility, it's light weight, loads fast, and is overall close to exactly what I wanted.

Works very fast on my netbook, as compared to slow OpenOffice.

What is TextMaker?

TextMaker is the word processor in SoftMaker Office – fast, powerful, compatible and GDPR-compliant.

Seamless document exchange

DOCX is the default file format of TextMaker. Edit TextMaker documents easily with Microsoft Word – and vice versa! Quickly create PDF and PDF/A files and e-books in EPUB format in TextMaker.

Employ artificial intelligence for your documents

TextMaker is the first word processor with artificial intelligence (AI) built in. Just leave the text composition to ChatGPT's AI. It summarizes long texts intelligently, improves your writing style and grammar usage, and even writes entire texts based on your ideas.

TextMaker is a team player.

Do you work on a document together with colleagues? TextMaker tracks all changes which you make to a document. Later, you can either accept or reject these changes, no matter whether you work with TextMaker or Word. Equally, you can insert comments, which appear – just as in Word – as balloons in the right-hand margin.

The GDPR-compliant alternative to Microsoft Word

TextMaker is as well suited for your daily correspondence as for elaborate academic documents. Its built-in graphic functions enable you to create designs such as flyers or invitations with ease. Create better documents in less time thanks to TextMaker, the GDPR-compliant alternative to Microsoft Word.
