Edit text in English, Hebrew, Yiddish, Judaezmo, Russian, Persian and/or Arabic (even Japanese, Chinese and Korean)... all in the same document without changing your word processor!

For the first time, the Jewish Community can write in English plus Hebrew, Russian, Persian, Yiddish... as many as 19 different languages in the same document with the same word processor. And Nisus Writer gives you this capability because it's the first word processor that's completely Macintosh^® WorldScript^TM savvy. Nothing compares for diverse language writing flexibility, especially in right-to-left text entry. Not to mention powerful editing, formatting, graphics, and layout features, including footnotes and automatic cross-referencing. You can now save any Nisus Writer file in HTML format to easily create web pages. If you are a rabbi, an educator, or a community lay leader, please check out the Nisus Store.

     Nisus Writer's exquisite word processing and entry level desktop publishing capabilities let you mix graphics and text easily in the same document using only one application. With these tools and Nisus Writer's unique language capabilities (and appropriate Apple Language Kit), you can prepare customized brochures and siddurim in Hebrew, English, Yiddish, Judaezmo, Russian, Persian and/or Arabic, and any Romanic language.
     You can easily copy text from siddurim, reformat it and use it in Hebrew language and other lessons. Type in English from left to right using any standard English language font in your system. Choose a Hebrew Script font, and as you type, the Hebrew text you enter appears from right to left.
