THIS PROGRAM IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE - SORRY.

There is a hard to locate bug I have to fix then I'll make it available again, but it is at present low priority due to lack of interest in this program (which doesn't suprise me BTW as there are so many programs to work with text in many ways, it has some unique features but not enough to make it really stand out perhaps).

It gets only one or two downloads a month - and as far as I know, has had no sales at all. It is possible there may be some freeware users - but I have had no support queries about it either so I think freeware users also are probably few and far between if there are any.

If you already do use it, and are keen to see it made available again - or you just want to take a look at it despite the bug, please contact support@robertinventor.com

To download click here (or right click and choose Save As):

Setup_Text_Echo [0.8 MB]

Supported operating systems: for: Windows 9x / ME / 2K / XP / Vista

The old version 1.1 is also still available:Text Echo 1.1 Setup Program [3 MB]

When your browser asks you whether you want to save it or run it from its present location, the usual thing is to choose Save. Take a note of where you saved it.

Once the download is complete, look in the save folder for Text_Echo_Setup, and run it (usually with a double click). Your browser may offer run it for you anyway - if using Explorer click Open in the dialog that pops up after it gets downloaded.

You may get a message saying that the publisher of the software couldn't be verified. This is normal for programs by smaller software companies, indeed even some of the larger ones too - due to the high yearly cost for independent authentifications (e.g. by Verisign). Just say Yes, you want to run the installer anyway.

First you are asked to review the license agreement and accept it.

Then review the installation options, and select / unselect as desired - unselect the desktop shortcut if you don't want one.

Press Next.

Glance at the install directory to see if that is where you want to install it - the preset location of C:\Program Files\Text Echo will be suitable for most.

Click Install. Finally click Close, and the installation is complete. Text Echo will run straight away.

To run it again in the future, look for the Text Echo icon on your desktop, or go to Start | Programs | Text Echo | Text Echo. Or you can set it to start whenever windows starts.

To add the spell checking feature to Text Echo, download and install the free open source spell checker from the Aspell W32 page - you can also install whichever dictionary you want to use from the same page. TFE will automatically detect Aspell once it is installed.

You can delete the installer if you wish - the installation is complete. Or keep it for possible future use.

This installer is very system friendly. It doesn't change any system files or settings. All it does is to install Text Echo into its own folder, and add shortcuts to it to the desktop (if wished) and the Start menu.

Run from its present location is suitable if you have a fast connection. Wait for it to run. Internet Explorer users may get an error message at this point - if so ignore it - more details. Then press Next, Install, and Close as before.

Previous version still available:

Text_Echo_1.0 Setup [0.3 MB]
