Review

The Classical Text Editor was designed to enable scholars working on a critical edition or on a text with commentary or translation to prepare a camera-ready copy or electronic publication without bothering much about making up and page proofs.
Its features, formed in continuous discussion with editors using the program, meet the practical needs of the scholar concerning text constitution, entries to different apparatus and updating them when the text has been changed, as well as creating and redefining sigla.
The possibility to search for and visualise manuscript constellations may be of considerable help in detecting affiliations between sources. It is the primary purpose of the Classical Text Editor to do the automatable work which consumes so much time and energy, and let the scholar concentrate on scientific issues.

The idea is great but there are points that wicks this software. In Hebrew the graphical confusion begins when you use vowels: some of them are placed out of the consonant or circles appears evolving the consonant. This is surpassed if one copies and paste to other editor and there all appears clear. Also, for the writers from the right to left, in the systems the other-way-around, one can observe after to write something that the pointer stays in the right prepared to write to left and in this point there appear lot of problems.
This way, I conclude that the problems are generated because this editor includes many languages with a great variety of alphabets and, even, syllabaries.
Anyway and deeply, I want to thank the creator and developer of this software because is free...? Yes! But above at all for both: free and quasi-perfecto.
