Launch of Personal Editor Ver.17: Speed Up Your DTP Production Efforts

Personal Editor Ver.17: Revolutionizing DTP Production

On May 21, 2023, SOURCENEXT Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, announced the release of its latest version of DTP (Desktop Publishing) software, Personal Editor Ver.17. This software is priced at 19,690 yen (tax included, download version) and can be purchased directly from the company’s website.

Personal Editor Ver.17 simplifies the task of creating high-quality newspapers, flyers, booklets, and newsletters, making it accessible for everyone. This version introduces several exciting features to enhance both the quality and speed of production processes, including a Font Finder, a preview function, and a voice-reading capability to help catch typos.

New Features in Personal Editor Ver.17

Quick Font Finder

One of the most notable additions is the Font Finder, a tool that allows users to effortlessly browse through installed fonts to find one that best fits their desired aesthetic. Users can input sample text to see how it appears with different fonts, enabling them to visualize the end product before finalizing their choice. This feature streamlines the selection process and saves time, particularly when dealing with a large number of fonts categorized into Japanese and Western styles.

File Preview Before Opening

The software now includes a file preview function that displays the first page of a document before it is opened. This eliminates the hassle of opening multiple files, particularly when users are managing several projects or when filenames are similar. This improvement makes it more efficient to navigate through different works without trial and error.

Voice Reading to Catch Errors

Incorporating Windows 11's narrator functionality, Personal Editor Ver.17 offers a voice reading feature that reads aloud the entered text. By listening to the completed content, users can detect typographical mistakes and unnatural expressions that might be overlooked during visual proofreading. This audio verification is especially beneficial for lengthy documents, reducing eye strain while improving accuracy during the editing process.

About the Personal Editor Series

This software is part of a series with over 30 years under its belt, tailored for multi-page publishing. It provides users with professional-grade functionalities, capable of producing elegant layouts in both horizontal and vertical formats. With the integration of AI technology, writing content becomes much quicker and easier.

Selecting a template and inserting text and images can be done in just three easy steps, enabling various output formats and printing sizes ideal for community newsletters, flyers, and other publications.
