I have been using Artha for a long time. I don't have to reload it--I have put the icon on the 
panel, and it is ready to use
as soon as you boot your computer up. I have stumped it occasionally, but not often. I have it 
installed on PCLinuxOS and on Windows,
both 7 and 8.1. It can sometimes guess at your meaning even when you have misspelled the input, 
which is something the spell checkers
never do.
