Your book. Your voice. Lunaver Studio is a writing app you can run with your ears. You speak, it writes. You hear your chapter before you change it. It exists because its developer is losing his sight and no writing tool was made for ears. Today it is for everyone who would rather speak and listen than type and read. Our mission Writing should be closed to no one. That is why writing, listening, audiobook, Braille and DAISY stay free in Lunaver Studio. We commit to passing on 25% of our net revenue to organizations for blind and visually impaired people and to reporting on it on our website. Write by voice, keyboard or with Lumi Dictate or type, or let Lumi, your AI assistant, draft a chapter. Lumi plans with you, knows your chapters and answers questions about your text. Every chapter can be read aloud so you hear how it sounds. Voice commands and spoken feedback guide you through the app. Built for VoiceOver, not patched on Controls, dialogs and messages are labeled for VoiceOver.

About

Screencake

Read full description

Screencake is a screenwriting app for film and television. Type and it formats itself: scene headings, action, character, dialogue, parentheticals and transitions land on industry-standard pages, in Courier, with the margins a reader expects. Export to PDF, Final Draft (.fdx) or Fountain; import the same. Writing is free and needs no account. Your scripts stay on this device and never leave it unless you say so. Sign in to keep going on your Mac, your PC or in the browser, with every change synced live. Share a draft with a link; collaborators can read, comment or write with you in real time, and a comment on your script arrives as a notification. Beyond the page: a scene navigator and beat board, an outline with story threads, version history with side-by-side comparison, a table read that speaks the script aloud, breakdown tagging, stripboards, day-out-of-days and call sheets when the script goes into production. Requires iOS 17 or later. Screencake is made by Screencake LLC. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
