Writing Aids - Software

Word

The suitability of Word as a means of recording your writing depends to some extent on your ability to master the software, particularly when it comes to formatting layout and text. A dictaion option is available through Microsoft but it is not as accurate as the Google option.

OneNote

One Note is part of the Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365 bundle of software. It is described as a Note Taking application. Its principle advantage over most other options is text and formatting is saved as you type, and syncronised across other devices running the programme.Also supporting  insertion of photos, annotating, web page clipping, emailing.

Google Docs

Part of Google Workspace, an online word processing app with basic formatting capabilities. Advantages of instant save and syncronisation across devices. It also has a top of the range dictation option.

Manuskript

Manuskript offers an incredibly clean interface for distraction-free writing. It’s also one of the most popular Scrivener alternatives. The open-source alternative features a simple, yet powerful, editor, along with an intuitive outlining function. Tabs keep all your windows and tasks neatly organized.
