Now on with Picture This Text . . .
Picture This Text allows you to create beautiful, unique pictures
using the text font style of your choice
What is: 'Picture This Text'?
It's exactly what you see in the images above...Quite simply.... it's a picture.... but it's a picture with a twist. It's created using the letters, numbers and symbols you find on a standard keyboard. It's as if you put a sheet of paper into a typewriter
(you do remember what a typewriter is)
then typed a page full of random characters and when it's done, step back and, bingo, there's a picture in those characters.
Notice in these examples, from a distance you see the actual image but close up all you can see are letters, numbers and symbols. It's pretty cool the way this works and anyone who's seen one of these has been amazed and find themselves examining it close up and far away.
And think about this... you could print your text art and take it to work to show all your friends because it's NOT expensive. All this is done in black and white which means you don't have to worry about using your high-dollar color ink cartridge. Just put in a black ink cartridge and away you go. You can print these jewels all day long.
Complete with a comprehensive context-sensetive help file.

If you've tried the shareware version and are ready to buy but do not feel comfortable purchasing online from within the program or perhaps you have a firewall that keeps you from connecting correctly, you could click on the following line to take you directly to the
eSellerate web store.This software is not limited by time so you don't have to worry about making any snap decisions. However, in exchange for being able to test it as long as you wish, the free version is limited to the images shipped with the program. These images were chosen for their flaws and not because they're perfect.
When you reach the point where you can master these images, you'll be able to do most any picture on your computer and by the time you reach that stage you'll have the full-blown version.
That's not bad for a free program and the free version will give you a great idea of what it's like to make these fascinating pictures using only text.
Please note the following:
Because you have full opportunity to test the software in advance of purchase, and because of the multitude of hardware and software environments, there are no refunds so make sure to test all the enabled functions before purchasing.
Hello, I'm Don, owner of Metaware Productions.
Here's a program I wrote a long time ago and upgraded recently.
For those of you who do not remember what computers were like in the 1980's and 90's, I'll give you a little history. Back in those days sending pictures with your email was all but out of the question. It just used waaaay too much memory. To compensate, especially in the computer science classes, it was almost an unspoken competition to see who could come up with the cutsiest graphics made from keyboard characters alone.
So, not to be outdone, the chessplayer competitvness came out in me and I decided it would be nice if we could actually recreate an image as close as possible just from the letters of the alphapbet. Mainly because sending strictly text was a lot easier on computers. The program you see before you is the result.
There you have it.
