I can't get started out of the Help!
Maybe it was too late at night when I started playing but ... any hints would
be welcome! Is it best to turn off VO completely?

According to the help, if you start a line with the pound (#) symbol, you
should create a level 1 heading. The more pound (#) symbols you add, the lower
the heading level. So you would insert two # symbols for heading level 2, three
# symbols for heading level 3 etc.

Hi, I can’t figure out how to create a heading of various levels in this
app. Any clues would be helpful. Also, is their any on-line documentation other
than what is in the help file on the app?
Thanks very much.

Hi all,
I have to say I love, love, love this app! In fact, I'm thinking of using
this as my one and only Word Processor! Just love the features and layout of
the app. I will definitely spread the word. Thanks Winston and the team for
such a great app.

Greetings,
I was a beta tester for Voice Dream Writer. First, let me say that I
plan to do all my writing with this app from now on.
It is simply the most powerful Word Processing app I've used on an
iPhone. It will take some getting used to, but once you do, it is fantastic!
Note, it does require iOS 8.1. It costs $9.99 and is available only in
English in this first release.
I recommend reading the help file that is included in the app.
You can easily move or delete whole paragraphs or sentences.
You can navigate your document by headings, paragraphs or sentences, of
course also by word or character.
It creates an outline as you go which is why it is then easy to navigate
by those portions of text.
It has a great spell checker that makes it incredibly easy to find and
correct misspelled words.
You can show or hide the outline with a gesture or with a toggle button
on the screen.
There are dedicated bluetooth keyboard commands.
One of my favorite features is being able to set heading levels, bulleted
lists, bold or italicize text and then export that to a word document so it
maintains those formatting styles.
Now, you can only open text files, not word files. But, if you do the
bulk of your rough draft in Writer, then export it to Word .docx format to
DropBox or example, you can then polish up your document on your computer and
have your headings, bold, etc., maintained..
You can also export to Pages to then finish up on your Mac. I am not a
Mac user so I cannot speak to how that works exactly.
If you own Voice Dream Reader and update to version 3.40 of the Reader
and run it once, all your voices from Voice Dream Reader will be available to
you in Writer.
I highly recommend this app!
Here is the description from the app store.
Description
Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech
proofreading reduces
mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you find the right words, and
an active
outline improves the structure of your writing.
Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading
out loud
as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice
Dream Writer
reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward
sentences,
grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as
you type or
voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have
to look up
to check the text you just wrote.
Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using
phonetic search
and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you
will find
"enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find
"Cheetah."
Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you
type without
you having to select anything or open another program.
Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an
outline of headings,
paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document
better by
giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a
section in a
long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop
elements
in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and
pasting large
blocks of text.
Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with
everything you
would expect from any great writing tool:
- Comprehensive settings for text appearance
- Uncluttered writing area
- Full text search
- Synchronize and backup with iCloud
- Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box.
- Basic markdown support for formatting
- Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages)
- Support for Bluetooth keyboard
The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and
adults with
print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users
to manage
the cursor and select text. Visually impaired users can also easily find
and correct
misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice Proofreading and
Phonetic Search
are invaluable for people with dyslexia.
Voice Dream Writer will continue to evolve. We would love to hear from
you!
