Increase your productivity using these useful free apps.
Wherever you are make notes, record ideas, outline plots and develop character
sketches. And when you get back home some apps will even synchronise with PC/Mac/Laptop
software. Using these apps you can work wherever you like and pull everything
together when you get back to base.
- A Novel Idea - record ideas, outline your novel, develop characters and locations and start outlining and writing scenes. I use this myself and mind it particularly useful when I have an idea or want to start developing a new novel.
- Evernote – capture pictures and attach notes about them, make notes, photograph a passage from a book and record any other snippets that are needed for your writing. Use this when researching a location or using books in a library; you can add reference details as you go. Everything is stored in the cloud so when you get back to base all of these notes can be accessed on your main computer.
- Dragon Dictation – a great app that converts short voice recordings to text. These can then be emailed to yourself.
- Dragon Recorder – whilst similar to other voice recorders this has the advantage that if you have the Dragon Naturally Speaking software you can convert the voice recordings into text. Great for writing that novel, article or blog entry whilst you are on the go.
- CloudOn – create, access and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Save your files in the cloud and then access them when needed. Useful if you want to check a detail or notes whilst out and about.
Happy writing.
