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

Mellel reviews

Overall, this is a great app. There are only 2 things I would like to suggest improving ... 1. the cursor behaves erratically. Very difficult to control using the keyboard and it dances around all over the place. 2. When adjusting the width of table cells, could it leave other unrelated and unconnected tables untouched? Exports great to MS word format.

Interesting alternative, and fromthe trial, seems more user friendly than say Scrivener. That said, it touts "By Academics for Academics" - disagree. Mellel is embedded with Bookends as the reference citation integration - Bookends is a non-starter for serious academics. Bookends does not allow for any importation of necessary style guides. Zotero has them all by default. If you need a specific style for your university.department, you are forced to suddenly become a code editor. --- When Mellel, Bookends or both coose to accomodate flexibility and realistic options, I'll try again. I need a viable alternative to MS Word and the other litany of stuff out there - not headaches, endless forum searches, and silly limitations when completing my PhD.

I've been aware of Mellel for several years, but have used Pages for all my writing: articles and books. Its nearly 2022, now, so thot I'd try Mellel instead of using Pages 11.2 and its changed format for me. As starters I've downloaded the Mellel demo and read several reviews, but no review I've read contains specifics as to how Mellel is better than Pages. I'd like some evidence that for a 300 page scholarly book Mellel is better than Pages. The book will have text and visuals, notes and index. I'd really appreciate someone taking the time to post specifics. Thank you. dbing

Lightkey reviews

After a very easy and quick installation, I am asked about my preferred topics and industry. According to my answers, dedicated dictionaries are imported. Using Lightkey I can save a lot of time and stress when writing fast and reducing spelling and grammar mistakes. English is not my native mother language, here I benefit most. I can also backup and save my profile which is trained over the years. I also like that it not only helps in my Outlook Email but also when writing on the web, in Microsoft Applications, Gmail, Linkedin, Salesforce and much more.

Best of all, you can use it without having to open a separate piece of software. The app works flawlessly with Microsoft Office and Google Chrome, and you can trigger the Lightkey Anywhere function to have it humming along in any application. Compatible with more than 80 languages, the program is also available offline—removing any concern your work will be uploaded to the cloud. Pricing is a little steep i dont think i'd want to pay 30-50 dollars for a text editor where there is alot of sublime text with dev packages achieving the same thing

I think Lightkey is a fantastic product that helps me to type much faster and more accurately; picking up on all my typos and grammatical errors.
