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

Writer’s Workbench reviews

WWB offers my students objective feedback about their writing that helps them improve their writing. At a time when assessment has moved to the forefront in education, it provides a tool to measure writing skills.

- Paul Peterson, English Teacher, North Iowa Area Community College

I love Writer's Workbench. I not only use it for myself, I am writing a novel, but I have my children use it. We homeschool, and have done so for over 20 years. This program is TERRIFIC for writing. My children type up the writing assignments, Writer's Workbench shows them how to improve their writing. Not only that, it also TEACHES them different writing principals!! WE LOVE THIS PROGRAM! THANKS!

- Sherry Gammon

Writers Workbench has been an extremely helpful tool in the creation of thesis papers for my high school junior English class. The ability to scan the papers for passive voice, grammar, and repetition has been a great help in raising my grades. Thank you!

Thank you!.. I bought it without problems.. :)

- Carlos Huchim

I used @typora to write up The Georgia Incident. It's a great editor, and really helped me concentrate on the narrative, rather than the interface!

Pros & cons

Writer’s Workbench

Pros
Simple-to-handle interface
Portability conveniences
Configurations to set
Available offline

Typora

Pros
Typora immediately renders what's typed on the screen in Markdown format
This helps users to have a better understanding of how their document is being formatted
The editor and preview dual-pane setup typical of desktop Markdown editors are gone
Instead, a singular interface makes for a WYSIWYG experience
This streamlines the workflow and encourages direct manipulation
Typora has clean yet beautiful built-in themes and allows for users to create new themes using CSS.

Cons
Typora is still in beta and may be prone to changes or bugs
Having Markdown immediately render causes text to jump into formatted text, which is distracting and hard on the eyes
You need admin rights on a managed Windows computer to install it
There currently is no portable version available.
