Text-O-Matic 2.0 for Windows 10 devices brings improvements and new features to more fully unleash your creativity! The greatest difference between the two versions is in the floating editor. As you can see in the comparison image above, Text-O-Matic 2.0 is lighter and more refined, allowing you to focus more fully on your designs.
Get to know the floating editor. Almost all of the functionality of version 1.0 has been moved into the floating editor. You have a rich toolbox at your fingertip, and you can drag it anywhere on the screen. There are several help articles about the floating editor and its various functions.

*Automatic Update
If you were a user of Text-O-Matic 1.0, then you may have been upgraded without asking. We apologize for this, but it is a default setting in the Windows Store. You can change that behavior in your Windows Store Settings as shown here.
But now that you are running Text-O-Matic 2.0, we hope you will be empowered for even more creativity! We at Gizmomatic are not only the developers of Text-O-Matic, but we are avid users. The app was born out of our own desire to more easily create graphics. This update brings greater functionality and ease-of-use, and it provides avenues for us to connect with our users.
