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

LivingWriter reviews

I've been using this app for awhile on my tablet and desktop. While the desktop app isn't perfect, this app is particularly frustrating to use, especially if you're using a physical keyboard. The arrow keys don't control the cursor, instead cycling through the header navigation. Once you've accidentally pressed an arrow key, pressing space bar makes the menu open, without fail. It's very irritating.

- Alissa McGee

Perfect for those who like to plot out their stories. The tools are very versatile and I easily adjusted them to my needs. I love that I can jump between mobile and web, since I write 80% on my phone and 20% on the computer. My only major qualm with this app is that I really like the element link feature, but I don't think it works on the app. I can see the element links I've made on the web version, but as far as I can tell, I can't make links.

I love the desktop version but the app leaves so much to be desired. Basic functions like being able to use auto correct or select/highlight text to cut or copy and paste is just non existent and it lags like crazy. Part of the reason I signed up was for the supposed convenience of being able to work on my projects from my phone or computer when on the go but that's simply not possible with so many basic functions (which can be found in any other writing app) just aren't available.

The app is just great. Some features I would recommend: 1) Improve the popup design - maybe make it a bit lightweight 2) Let the users know in the tutorial about expanding the side menu from the right (I accidentally noticed it) 3) Show a link to https://notesalong.com/inbox in the extension icon in chrome bar

Simple and easy to use, great for annotating, editing, reviewing, etc. Annotation sharing is looking extremely promising and will make team projects much smoother. No more "which part are you talking about", shared highlights and comments do away will follow up questions. For future releases, additional colors and annotation categories would be helpful for quick sorting and searching (note, grammar, omit, rephrase). EDIT: They have added colors and tags! This makes identifying specific change requests much easier.

- Danielle Alexander

This extension is so underrated, those popular ones either have a bunch of bugs or have a real small limit to how much you can highlight. I just found this today and I'm loving it. I was surprised how you can highlight, choose colours, sort groups, and even add emotes XD
