From time to time, and for different reasons, we may need to encrypt all kinds of documents, a task that, although not usual, is easier when we have a program especially made for it. This is the case of Text Secret, a platform developed to secure all the text contents that we consider to have specific relevance.

This task is handy when we need to securely share certain documents, with the need that even if they fall into the hands of strangers, these people cannot access all their contents. This application is one of the best when it comes to encrypting documents, even in the case of novice users who have never tried their luck with similar systems before.

Text Secret is nothing more than a utility designed so that we can send encrypted notes to whomever we want so that they cannot be intercepted and the person who has accessed them can find their contents. The operation of this tool is straightforward since it is not even necessary to generate the new content in them, but we can copy it from another text program and paste it here quickly.

Once you have selected the text you want to encrypt, all you have to do is set a public key for the document, which you will also have to send, of course, to whoever you want to be able to see that certain content, this program works with totally secure encryption systems. It is necessary that whoever wants to see the text document, in addition to the password, also has the program installed on their computer.

The important thing about this type of program is that even if you have not tried other similar programs before, you will find an easy-to-use platform that allows intuitive access to most of its functions. And if we add to that the fact that it is entirely free, then it is convenient to give it a chance, keeping it installed on your computer in case it is ever needed.

Why use Text Secret and not generate a RAR archive with a password? There are several reasons to use a specific encryption program instead of generating a compressed archive using WinRAR. However, the main one is that RAR-type archives are not secure and can be intercepted and accessed by people with basic knowledge of the field, something we should avoid.

Generally speaking, we advise using this type of tool when sending sensitive information to your friends, family, or acquaintances, such as bank account details or other similar information, which could be used to defraud you if they become known to people outside your circle of trust.

As for the text editor itself, you will see that it hardly differs from what we can find in some simple programs of the segment, for example, Notepad, which is part of the small applications of Windows. If you want to make significant edits to the text you are going to send, it is advisable to work on it in Word, and once you have finished the task, you should transfer it to Text Secret.

Anyway, you can make some essential modifications without leaving Text Secret. Among them, we are talking about modifying the font, or the font size, even adding an underline or bold to highlight some part of the text. You can also align the text in the center of the document, or on the left or right side of the screen, in the same way as in any text editor.

About the interface of the program, we can say that it is pretty simple since it does not call attention by having large buttons or menus that occupy too much space, but everything is where it should be, and it is easy to find the main functions. From the top menu and the simple Encrypt option at the bottom of the screen, we can reach most of its essential functions in seconds.

Before finishing, we have to say that this program is portable to the extent that we can run it from the installation file and open it without generating an icon or any other content from which to launch it. That is to say; if you carry the installer on your USB device, you can run Text Secret whenever you want, even to open encrypted files you have sent from another computer.

In summary, Text Secret is a good tool for all those users who need to encrypt texts they want to send to acquaintances or friends to be sure that no one else will be able to see them. It is a straightforward program, a kind of Notepad that adds this encryption function, which proposes a much more efficient alternative to password-compressed RAR files.
