Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

ilys reviews

This is the best program ever. I wrote 4000 words in one day when in the past I was lucky to get down 500 because of how much of a perfectionist I was being and constantly editing as I went. The 4000 words I threw down were certainly terribly written, but I really don't care because *the words are down and moving the story forward*! This is the best tool for compulsive editors during NaNoWriMo. I can make the writing good later, but for now, getting the words on the page using this program might actually make me successful this NaNo. Thank you thank you thank you.

ilys forces me to get something down. I have a tendency to try and edit as I write, which means it can take me hours to write something even fairly short, and in the end I am not happy with the result. With ilys I know that I can't change anything until I reach my word goal. Also, the simplicity of the site really helps to minimize distractions.

ilys helps with my writing when I'm having trouble focusing. It's great how it makes the whole screen dark and shows only one letter at a time so I can't go back and edit or get distracted by other tabs. I also like the word count feature. Knowing I have to write a certain number of words before I can edit them keeps me going until I reach the goal.

AbiWord reviews

"The creators of Abiword should be proud. They have created a solid word processing application, one that is fast, cross-platform, and comes with most of the bells and whistles you can find in other commercial packages. Give it a go today!"

- TechVine - A Great Multiplatform Word Processing App - August 13, 2012

"AbiWord's best feature, hands down, is its collaboration support. When talking about collaboration in other word processors, its dependent on one person working on the document at a time, then sending it to others with markup and comments. AbiWord, on the other hand, provides real-time collaboration."

- LinuxPlanet - AbiWord: The Underappreciated Word Processor - May 25th, 2010

Henry Kingman write about the new release: Anyway, to make a long story short, Abiword 2.6.2 really *does* look impressive. There are amazingly futuristic features, like hooks into Web services, pop-out font previews, and presentation mode, combined with a dead-simple interface that is miles better than OO.org's. Just a real pleasure to use.
