Hi Michael, WordBook sounds interesting, but when I searched for it I found two apps from different developers with the same name. What is the developer for the one you are recommending?

I recommend Ulysses. It's fully accessible now. Since Apple figured out how to improve text selection, I haven't found any good reason to use Voice Dream Writer. It's easy to select, cut and paste chunks of text in Pages or other mainstream writing apps. Proof-reading is quite possible using the built-in spellchecker in iOS. Ulysses is expensive but I use it all the time. It's great for keeping stuff organised and writing long documents like the iOS guide I'm working on for blind people. I can have a sepearte sheet for each major section and rearrange them at will. I can also cut and paste minor sections withinn a sheet. Ulysses uses markdown language for formatting so you can always know what's going on since the Markdown characters are all text symbols. There's always Pages which is free from Apple and Microsoft Word which is free from Microsoft. Both are quite useable. For a good accessible dictionary/thesaurus app, I suggest Wordbook. It does the job rather nicely. There's also another great one called Terminology. Both apps will work even when offline so you'll never be without some assistance finding the right word. Haven't found any satisfactory offline encyclopedias but the Wikipedia Mobile app is great provided you're online. I've heard they have some agreement with carriers so that it doesn't even cost you cellular data to look up things on there. And of course, the Google app is a good addition to anybody's home screens. Its voice search can often out-do Siri. You might also want to look at another app called Scrivener. It was designed with authors in mind and is a close competitor. To Ulysses I prefer Ulysses overall but it comes down to personal taste and overall approach. Hope that helps you out a bit.

You can spellcheck and proofread your documents. I'm not sure if it syncs up with DropBox, but it does sync with iCloud so whenever you edit a document, it is automatically updated. Also when you create the document, and name iot, you don't have to save. It is really an awesome app Jenn!
