Re: Ulysses was Re: Text editing/word processing

2017-01-31 Thread Richard Turner 

To say an app is straight forward is hard, since it depends on how detailed you 
want to be. The manual is very good and learning the mark down symbols, for me, 
was pretty easy.
If you want a bulleted list, you simply put a hyphen before each item.
To get the document on dropbox, you would then select the export button at the 
top of the screen.
Double tap on export to external location. Double tap on the format, say rtf, 
then double tap on dropbox. Then you will be able to pick the folder on dropbox 
you want.
Then hit the upload or done button, I can't quite remember what it is called, 
but it will be pretty clear at that point.
You can easily have different heading levels, like heading level 1, 2, 3, etc.
You simply put a number sign at the beginning of the line. If you want heading 
level 2, use two number signs, etc.
It is worth taking the time to really learn the features. It deals with 
selecting text much the same as Voice Dream Reader. Plus, if you have purchased 
voices for Voice Dream Reader, they work in Writer.
Pages gets a low rating because it is such a pain to use.
At least, in my opinion.
I hope that helps.

Hey there,

If you don't mind can you please tell me, especially from a blindness/voiceover 
user's perspective as to why you chose or prefer ulysses over Scrivner. 
Currently, I am trying to decide which word processor I want to invest the time 
to learn as well as the money in.

Also, is it easy to spell check and to format the document with voiceover with 
Ulysses on the iPhone?

Thanks so much,
Christina

Scrivener didn't seem to let me enter apostrophes. It kept giving a short
beep whenever I tried. Also, I found it tricky to import all the files I
wanted to from Dropbox. I love the basic philosophy behind Scrivener but I
just didn't have the experience I thought I would. I've had a much smoother
experience with Ulysses. I'm learning more of the markdown language as I
need to. So far, it has the formatting commands I require. Basic formatting
like centering and such is quite simple. I've written lettres and exported
them as HTML, text and other formats. I haven't done footnotes but there is
a command to add them when needed. You may want to check out the FAQ at:
ulyssesapp.com/faq
It should be possible to get the user guide as well. Lots of helpful info
on their site for Mac and iOS. I did read that they can't offer student
discounts or anything like that so you'd be paying full price as I
understand it. however, the seem to be simple text commands for adding lots
of things including images.
