- Performance improvements for users on macOS 10.11 and newer.

This is a text editor not a magic wand

I am not sure why the 1 star raters are so upset. I think it was 6$. Only problem I had was it crashed a couple times. But if you save while you go, it should not be a problem.

no documentation

I want to love this software but have not found any instructions. I want to type Latin and have it transcribed to Arabic and at other times to Hebrew. No answer under Help, Transcribe; nothing on the Web that I can find. This really needs some instructions. The pulldowns Script, Transliterate, Latin->Arabic and Script, Transliterate, Latin->Hebrew seem to do absolutely nothing.

Not bad

I only needed to transliterate Latin alphabet to arabic words. This app made it so easy & I didn't even watch or read any info on how to use it. It wasnt that hard to figure out.
