IEInspire Writer - elegance in action I used Inspire Writer for the duration of the trial. My work moves between Mac and PC. Ulysses is my preferred writing app on Mac and up until now I have not found an equivalent app for PC. But, thankfully, Inspire Writer is the perfect answer. There is a seamless transition between my Mac and my PC with my writing projects. Inspire Writer is the gorgeously elegant, distraction free writing tool for me. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

GBI've been working within the Inspire… I've been working within the Inspire Writer tool for several weeks, and so far it does what I'd been hoping for, which is to provide a transition from Ulysses for someone, like me, who is moving from a Mac to a Windows machine. The main thing I was looking for was the ability to see just a section of a document at a time. It's odd that so few Windows writing tools do this. Scrivener does, but it's still stuck at version 2.0 (versus 3.0 for the Mac), which means the software interface is archaic, the menus overly complicated, and the font management lacking. Inspire Writer, in contrast, has the "clean" interface that has become the expected norm for writing tools these days. It doesn't try to do too much, and in the process does what it's trying to do quite well. I'm trying it out side by side with Typora, CherryTree, and a few other such tools. I'm not sure which I'll end up using, but I'm guessing it'll be Inspire Writer based on my experience thus far. It takes me a long time to make a decision like this. But once I'm into a tool, I become a lifer, or something close to it..

AEHow I became an Inspire(d) Writer Well, I am not a writer... So what to do with Inspire writer might you ask? I stumbled over the program via GiveAwayOfTheDay, it got good reviews, so I had a look. And, I am impressed with the ease of use, quick workflow and simpleness to do some markup with it. We are in the process of writing a blog, so plenty of texts to create, this program is going to help us a lot. The only thing that I am missing is support for Joomla, the program that we use for our blog, but we will copy/paste around it until there is a better solution on hand.

AUGood for multiple notes at a time! program highlight: Note previews on the sidebar. Can view other note content and jump between them so quickly. I really liked how each page displays on your sidebar with a few lines of preview. As a forgetful person it is important for me to be able to see snippets of different documents at a time, as opposed to having to jump between them again and again. On this note, the transition between pages is seamlessly fast, being that they are just rich text pages. This is opposed to multiple heavy word documents that you much flip between. What I don't like however, is how from what i remember, you must keep exporting your files to be able to read them on other documents. I remember having to do this to read on my phone, due to a lack of a mobile app. I do appreciate that things can just export as text documents. I say this because it could have been like mobile app I have which exports all notes to a single file, filled with app-to-read formatting jargon... Not sure I'll use the blogging integrations, but I just liked the app as a writer for a collection of small tidbits that I can jump between. The word count progress is a cool feature, and the tags too which I have yet to use properly. Users of a simplistic, older looking UI will appreciate how inspire looks, compared to the look of Joplin.

FRFor years I couldn't find a way to type… For years I couldn't find a way to type on a laptop without having to edit my writing just by seeing it appear on the screen. It was a nightmare, I tried it all, dragon, word, final draft etc... All I needed was a tool, much like the old typewriters, I never expected to find a friend. Inspire writer is that friend. I truly recommend it.
