Description
Voice Dream Writer helps everyone write better: Text-to-speech proofreading reduces mistakes, phonetic and meaning search help you use the right words, and an active outline helps you organize and improve the structure of your writing.
• Featured in the US App Store Education Collection.
• "Voice Dream Writer's technically designed for people with reading disabilities, but it's useful for just about anyone who needs a little help proofing." - Lifehacker
Text-To-Speech Proofreading. Professional proofreaders recommend reading out loud as the best way to catch mistakes. Like a personal proofreader, Voice Dream Writer reads your writing using text-to-speech, so you can easily spot awkward sentences, grammatical errors and typos. Also, it can read words and sentences as you type or voice dictate. This way, you can type faster because you no longer have to look up to check the text you just wrote.
Word Finder. Voice Dream Writer helps you find the right words using phonetic search and meaning search. For example, search for "inuf" phonetically, and you will find "enough", and search for "Fast Africa Cat" by meaning and you will find "Cheetah." Word Finder also shows you the dictionary definition of a word as you type without you having to select anything or open another program.
Outline. As you write, Voice Dream Writer automatically creates an outline of headings, paragraphs and sentences. The Outline helps you structure your document better by giving you an always-on overview. You can also quickly navigate to a section in a long document without endless scrolling. Finally, you can drag and drop elements in the Outline to organize your writing. No more selecting, cutting and pasting large blocks of text.
Besides these unique features, Voice Dream Writer also comes with everything you would expect from any great writing tool:
• Comprehensive settings for text appearance
• Uncluttered writing area
• Search for text
• Search for misspelled words
• Word count
• Synchronize and backup with iCloud
• Import and export for Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box
• Preview and print with multiple themes
• Markdown support for formatting
• Export to Microsoft Word format (compatible with Apple Pages)
• Support for Bluetooth keyboard
The app is not only fully accessible, it was designed with students and adults with print disabilities in mind. There are special tools for VoiceOver users to manage the cursor, select text, and find and correct misspelled words by stepping through them. Voice-based Proofreading and Phonetic Search are invaluable for people with dyslexia. Also included is the research-proven Dyslexie font.
Voice Dream Writer will continue to evolve. We would love to hear from you!

Ratings and Reviews
Amazing
I have just accessed the Voice Dream Writer and I am speechless. It is so easy to use and so effective. I tutor children with dyslexia and it will be a Godsend. I can’t wait to use it with them. It is very simple, but I don’t underestimate the work it took to produce. And so reasonably priced. And… I will also be using it myself at a personal level and giving it to my granddaughter for her birthday.
Thank you so much

Disappointing
I have to say I’m very disappointed with this app, I absolutely love the reader but I find this app very clunky and most of the time it doesn’t play back when you want it to.
It won’t let you import word docx or pages doc which is strange seeing as it is a iPad app. I would much rather edit right in the app but you can only use plain text.
I’ve tried working in split screen mode on the iPad with pages open on one side and it playing on the other so I can edit and listen but than all the font runs right down the middle like it’s been squeezed.
The play button fails to work more times than not so you have to close the app and reopen constantly.
There needs to be more than a plain text mode, I so want to love this app but I can’t.
This app would be perfect if you could import your word docx and play it and edit.
I will give this app a 5/5 review if it was able to do that. 2/5 is generous until then.
Great For All Writers!
This is another fantastic offering from the makers of Voice Dream Reader. The developer has gone to great lengths to make this app a pleasure to use for anyone who writes with their iPhone. For vision impaired users like myself, this app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and has many features for low vision users as well. I particularly love the dictionary features in this app, which help to expand and improve my writing as I go. A must have for any writer who wants a comprehensive and accessible word processor for their iPhone.
