NJStar Chinese WP review
A focused desktop word processor for Chinese writing, conversion, input and review.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
NJStar Chinese WP is a desktop word processor for creating and editing Simplified and Traditional Chinese documents. It is aimed at writers, translators, students and organizations that need Chinese-focused input, conversion, reference and review tools rather than a general-purpose office editor. Support for RTF and DOCX files, tables, templates, styles, footnotes and multiple columns gives it a familiar document foundation, while Chinese-specific tools define its focus.
Pricing is organized by edition and font collection. The Standard Edition costs $99 one time and includes all functions with 0 NJStar fonts. The Pro Edition costs $159 and includes 10 NJStar fonts. Pro Simplified Edition and Pro Traditional Edition each cost $199 and include 25 NJStar fonts. The Ultimate Edition costs $299 and includes 52 NJStar fonts. A 30-day evaluation is available, but there is no permanent free plan. The software runs on Windows, macOS versions 10.6–10.14, and Linux through WINE, so platform fit should be considered before choosing it.
Its strongest distinction is the depth of its Chinese language toolkit. More than 32 input methods, English-Chinese and Chinese-English dictionary lookup, Hanzi-to-Pinyin conversion with tones, radical lookup and stroke-order animation support writing and learning workflows. Users can also practice, insert and print stroke order, work with both character sets in one document, and track, accept, reject or hide changes. Those features make NJStar Chinese WP a strong choice for specialist Chinese writing and language study. Teams needing collaboration, or users seeking a current general-purpose editor with broader workflow integration, should choose an alternative.
