laundrycrisis Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Does anyone here use either AppWriter or iReadWrite ? We just got our first iPad and I want to put an assistive word processing app on it and these are the two I am looking at. I see the AppWriter is supposed to be compatible with DropBox and Google Docs. I don't see this type of compatibility listed with iReadWrite. I see that iReadWrite includes spelling and word prediction that considers phonetic spelling and homophones - AppWriter's info does not mention that - just context-based word prediction. I am guessing that would not consider phonetic spellings or homophones. I think that iReadWrite may have superior word prediction and spelling features, but I am concerned that the documents he creates with it won't be anything we can ever get into a word processor on the PC. It just says, "Documents that you create can be printed and shared or exported via email, Facebook, Twitter, or Messages." I'm concerned that I won't have a way to make them into a file I can use in Open Office or Google Docs. Is this a valid concern ? These apps are in the $20-30 price range so I only want to buy one of them and choose it carefully....I would appreciate input on this ! Thank you !!

Heathermomster Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The page contains links that demonstrate how the iReadWrite app works: http://texthelp.com/north-america/our-products/readwrite/educator-resources/feature-videos/#MAC%20Videos It seems you can email the work off the IPad but not as an attachment. The work is copied directly within the e-mail. From the computer where e-mail is checked, you'd cut and paste the details back into your word processor. The app also imports txt and RTF files, so remember to save your docs as RTFs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie of KY Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I'd be concerned if I couldn't export it as a file. I would look further into the issue if I were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
