Re: Text editing/word processing

Markdown is a way to format text in a simple text editor such as Voice Dream Writer or the Plain Text iOS app. You can make lists, headings, bold and italicize text, and much more. Here's a good link that goes through the different things you can do with Markdown. It took me a bit to find a

Re: Text editing/word processing

yes, if you use Writer's proof reading function. It is part of the learning curve, but I found it easy to get used to. Plus, the spell check allows you to find misspelled words and correct one, then go to the next in context, etc. I think it is the best app for editing. There is a good article

Re: Text editing/word processing

Hi, I have a question. In voice dream writer, does the edit cursor track with the voiceover cursor when reading a long document? For example, if I'm reading a long and I find an error I want to correct. Will be edit cursor be located at that position when I stop the reading? Thanks Sent from

Re: Ulysses was Re: Text editing/word processing

To say an app is straight forward is hard, since it depends on how detailed you want to be. The manual is very good and learning the mark down symbols, for me, was pretty easy. If you want a bulleted list, you simply put a hyphen before each item. To get the document on dropbox, you would then

Scrivener didn't seem to let me enter apostrophes. It kept giving a short beep whenever I tried. Also, I found it tricky to import all the files I wanted to from Dropbox. I love the basic philosophy behind Scrivener but I just didn't have the experience I thought I would. I've had a much smoother

Hey there, If you don’t mind can you please tell me, especially from a blindness/voiceover user’s perspective as to why you chose or prefer ulysses over Scrivner. Currently, I am trying to decide which word processor I want to invest the time to learn as well as the money in. Also, is it

Re: Text editing/word processing

I'd say Wordbook compares quite nicely to Wordweb. For some reason, Wordweb got harder to use for me on iOS. It's a great app and I'd be happy to learn it was back to being fully useable. It was great on Windows too. Wordbook gives comparable definitions. There have been times when Ulysses has

Re: Text editing/word processing

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I have a few follow up questions. Word Book sounds cool. How would you compare it to WordWeb? That’s the app I’ve been using for years. Ulysses is $19.99 in IOS App store and $44.99 in Mac App Store. Am I understanding correctly, if you wanted both

I really like Voice Dream Writer. It also uses mark down language. It is designed for the blind, so extremely user friendly. It is worth the $9.99. Richard "By doing what you love, you inspire and awaken the hearts of others." - Satsuki Shibuya Sent with my iPod Touch 6) On Jan 31, 2017,

The company who produced Wordbook is called TranCreative Software. Agile Tortoise produces the Terminology app and other apps which have attracted attention from blind users. Hope that gets you on the right path. Should have included that information in my initial message. -- Michael Feir

I don't have Ulysses but I thought I'd mention it costs $24.99. It does have an extensive feature set but does much more than I would ever do when writing with my iPhone. I prefer to do the heavy lifting with my computer. Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 31, 2017, at 11:13 AM,

Hello. I recommend Ulysses. It's fully accessible now. Since Apple figured out how to improve text selection, I haven't found any good reason to use Voice Dream Writer. It's easy to select, cut and paste chunks of text in Pages or other mainstream writing apps. Proof-reading is quite possible

Re: Text editing/word processing

Hi Tracy, VoiceDream Writer costs $9.99, but it is so worth it. You can spellcheck and proofread your documents. I'm not sure if it syncs up with DropBox, but it does sync with iCloud so whenever you edit a document, it is automatically updated. Also when you create the document, and name iot,
