What's New in Read&Write

7.17.1

October 27, 2026

Dictation in external keyboards Previously when using an external keyboard and the onscreen keyboard was minimised, there was no way to perform a dictation without expanding the onscreen keyboard. In 7.17.1, we’ve added a new dictation button that is visible only when an external keyboard is connected so users can quickly use the dictation feature Improved highlighting in the dictionary window Text highlighting for speech in the dictionary window has now been updated to support your chosen highlight colours and modes in the app settings. Export as PDF The editor app now has a new Export as PDF option, so you can export your work directly to PDF consuming apps and ecosystems. New link to your Check It dictionary The keyboard app now has a button to take you directly to your Check It dictionary list - making it quicker and easier to manage your added words. What’s Fixed? Fixes a crash that could occur when tapping the keyboard language dropdown when an external keyboard was connected. Fixes a bug where the minimise button on the R&W keyboard was unresponsive tapping settings button on the minimised R&W keyboard, when using an external keyboard. Improves prediction when swapping languages; partial words should now update to the new language. Fixes a crash that could happen when exporting a document from the dashboard that contains images. Fixes a bug where the prediction dictionary was not being applied until the app was restarted. Fixes a bug in the editor app where Ignore all could sometimes unignore previously ignored words. Fixes a bug in Google Drive where not all folders were showing. Fixes a bug where the changing the keyboard locale was also changing the current language. Fixes a bug where the font menu in the editor app was transparent on iOS 26+ devices. Fixes a bug where Ignore all in the editor app was not refreshing content offscreen. Fixes a bug where Check It treated a wrapped line as a new sentence. Fixes a bug where the Check It pop up in the editor app was not being resized correctly on keyboard appear/dismiss. Fixes a bug in the editor app where document content being spoken offscreen was not being automatically scrolled to. Fixes a bug in the dictionary feature were words being looked up that included punctuation were not returning any results.

Nearly useless

Needs lots of work. Apparently they don’t use the app because if they did they would know how unacceptable this is for reading documents or web pages.

Itz bad

I don’t like
IIwannabethedude

The app version is terrible

The way it’s reading makes it hard to understand. The ai ignore pauses, taking pause before starting to read a new bullet point, moving to another paragraph.
There are limited voice choices. Not even worth 1$.
I’ll stick to the computer extension. This app needs major updates.

Frustrations with R&W app

I don’t understand why I cannot delete text while in the document - every time I select text and hit the delete key or cut, it kicks me out of the app! Super frustrating and not user friendly.
LLmandlk

Not worth the money

A complete waste of money I can’t use it for things. I need to use it for like reading articles on the web.
