Thanks for your suggestions. Since I'm attempting to make the pound sign, and with the new unified code, I'm confused, I think I'll try that.

In UEB and, I believe, contracted braille, the number sign for numbers is 3-4-5-6. However, as you don't want numbers, use 4-5-6, 1-5-6-7 instead. One way to confirm this would be to just write the symbol with the on-screen keyboard, then see what it translates to on the display.

Formatting Voice Dream Writer supports a subset of Markdown, a quick way to format the text in your document on a mobile device without any of the complications of a full-blown Word Processor. Supported Markdown syntax: . Headings. Use "#" (number sign) at the beginning of a paragraph for Headings. Number of "#" (number signs) is the heading level. These acts are markers that allow you to navigate the document easily using the Outline. VoiceOver users can jump to these markers using the cursor tool. When you export as a Word document, for example, these become styled as headings. . Lists. (minus sign) at the beginning of a paragraph to denote a bulleted list, and a number followed by a period and a space denote a numbered list. If you'll ultiamtely export the document to HTML, RTF or Word, the numbers will be generate in the right sequence. . Italics. Surround a word or phrase with asterisk to italicize it. . Bold. Surround a word or phrase with 2 asterisks to bold it. Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

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. On 22 Jan 2015, at 05:37, Neal Ewers < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> wrote: Hi, I can't figure out how to create a heading of various levels in this app. Any clues would be helpful.

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. On 21 Jan 2015, at 16:00, Richard Turner < <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]> wrote: 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! What's New in Version 1.0.0 Posted Jan 20, 2015 . Initial release for all English-speaking countries. . You can use all voices installed in Voice Dream Reader, but you have to update to the latest version of the Reader, 3.4.0, and run it once. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
