Jart has a spell checker. Although I still use Word Jart is my program of choice for reading documents as it is very stable with Jaws even for very long book sized documents. I have never had a crash or a delay in reading.
The main restriction I can see between the free version of Jart and the version you buy is that you cannot set up templates in the free version. So for example you cannot in the free version change the default font to say Arial 14 point. However it will respect and maintain the format for any document you open or save. You can of course change fonts and other styles manually. So in summary the free Jart when it opens a blank document will always have Verdona 13 point as the default font. A lot of people consider this to be a good accessible font for people with low vision to read anyway. If you really want templates in the free version you can save empty documents with the fonts and other styles you want set up in Jart, then simply make these read only. So, for example, if you want a Arial 14 point template simply open Jart, change the font to Arial 14 and save this document as arial14.rtf in perhaps a folder called Jart Templates. Close Jart and find this file in Windows Explorer . Press alt plus enter to open file properties. Tab until you hear read only and press space bar to check this. Press OK. Then Make sure that Jart is associated with rtf files. If you do not know how to do this then repost this as a question and instructions can be given. Now opening arial14.rtf in Explorer will open this as a template within Jart. The fact that the file is read only will prevent you overwriting this file by mistake. Jart will prompt you to select a different file name when you try to save your work.
