Text editor: I use Vim with torte color scheme. It is by far the best text editor on the market, it is highly flexible, highly programmable, very costumizable, but it can have a steeper learning curve than other text editors. It is a pleasure to use and looks something like this: Either way, even if you don't want this one, choose an editor with a dark background or looking for long periods of time at a (mostly) white screen will damage your eyesight. Spellcheck: I don't use one, I just re-read the text before I submit it. I think it's great practice. Dictation: Like others have already told you, Dragon is the best one on the market and can help you save time. Thesaurus: Thesaurus.com. Brain: Your very own.
How does this work with other languages than english? And how about small errors here and there, are there many of those.... I guess I am asking how accurate it is?
I often use wordcountertool.com because I do SEO and its great for checking length on meta-information. Other than that I am a little old-school with Microsoft word.
Pretty much the exact same method as yourself! I also try to read any news related to the article I'm about to write so I can add any new details that have just happened in the world
Just using a dictionary and a thesaurus may sound archaic, yet they're still very effective. Some of the very best tricks are the old school tricks of the trade. Vince aka makingiants
The page your link goes to is only showing a product you can buy to protect your content. I didn't see anything about checking the grammer.
I often outline on file cards and my rough drafts are often written with my Parker fountain pen. Seriously. Then I edit and rewrite with MS-Word. All I need is a way to create a text file and I am good to go. I do not worry about things like page layout or HTML, just words on paper. I do not use fancy grammar checkers and Word's spell chacker does the trick. I am a godde speller. Bob
