VDWrite vs Avaz FreeSpeech

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!

FreeSpeech is the perfect app for anyone who is learning the English language - whether you are - A person with special needs, such as autism, dyslexia and hearing impairments - An ELL student, trying to make sense of English grammar - Someone who loves languages and likes to explore them! Developed by an interdisciplinary team including SLPs, educators, and researchers with over 100 years of collective experience, FreeSpeech is the most advanced language learning technology currently on the App Store. The technology behind FreeSpeech was the subject of a TED talk by its creator Ajit Narayanan which has been viewed more than one million times. The development of FreeSpeech, combining engineering with generative linguistics, earned the team recognition as one of the world's Top 35 Innovators from MIT Technology Review. AS SEEN ON TED BY 1M+ VIEWERS: http://go.ted.com/CW6u "A powerful new app designed to help children of all learning levels and language abilities develop grammatically correct sentences... A welcome addition for anyone with young writers that struggle with arranging sentences or who have a language impairment that makes it frustrating to communicate." - SmartAppsForKids FreeSpeech is unique because it's the only app in the world that predicts grammar. You can throw a bunch of picture tiles at it, and the app will automatically figure out a grammatically correct sentence from them. - It's possible to manipulate words, tenses and structure as if you were manipulating building blocks. - The app lets teachers and learners model/recast/contrast various grammar rules pictorially, all the while speaking out correct English. - A teacher or therapist can configure how much prediction FreeSpeech does, and fade away its capabilities as a student develops confidence. FreeSpeech is based on solid research, and builds language by: - EXPANDING: Prompting users with questions to expand their sentences; - SCAFFOLDING: Intelligently predicting words that they are likely to use; - CONTRASTING: Visually modeling tense and sentence modifiers; - RECASTING: Automatically inserting prepositions and articles as needed; and - ERRORLESS MODELING: Automatically predicting grammar, to assemble a map of pictures into a grammatically correct English sentence. Scientific trials validating the efficacy of FreeSpeech have been presented at leading conferences in linguistics and special education. FreeSpeech features more than 2,000 symbols from Symbolstix, and is ideally suited to use alongside other AAC, articulation and education apps that use these lovely symbols. Additionally, you can customize the vocabulary with 20,000+ Symbolstix symbols. Download FreeSpeech & learn English language skills today!
