Which one is the best content writing software

    Guess better to write contents yourself with help from some of these tools than hiring a writer and spend time proofreading it.

    Downloaded Quick Article Pro - no good, it couldn't return results on many two words phrase and plus duplicate sentences on some returned.

    Something would be great to test like if it searches by content theme, category etc etc.

    Or just hire a writer who knows what they're doing....

    Most of the software out there puts out garbage just as awful as what you'd get from a cheap writer, so you won't actually save time on proofreading / editing.

    Kind of thing I look for content written are tech, medical staff; and slowly releasing that hiring a real creature :eek: could write those stuffs would give me a bummer on prices like hiring a full time writer; I don't have a product to sell that would see a ROI - return on INVESTMENT! so...looking for ways...but true, most of the writer softwares I see around are awful as their websites are.

    "hiring a real creature"

    I think you do not understand the activities that go on in the brain of the writer, when she/he has opened a document or a page.

    If you had at least written a single document until now, you would not have referred writers to creatures, you yourself being a hideous one.

    real creature meant to software vs human. so 'activities that go on in the brain of the writer' that's preciously is a proofreading point but thanks for spelling it to me and others.

    I've never found content-writing software that does a good job. The articles they spit out always sound stilted and awkward. This kind of software is one of the reasons that you find so much junk when you're scouring the Internet for legitimate research.

    I wouldn't use any automated software personally.

    Stick to using a simple WP package. Failing that, look to hire a decent writer who will produce good content for you.

    Agreed manual touch is essential but guess those things are not properly developed yet; it certainly would help to have a 'research' on the left pane and you 'compose' on the right pane. Writers certainly do not read books to do a writing but the online searches so a custom search based on themes could just add to it. If it's a specific product description etc. do it all manually or a product description doesn't need a great research like 'where do I start'.

    'This kind of software is one of the reasons that you find so much junk when you're scouring the Internet for legitimate research' - well, I am not much into article searching otherwise Google returns relevant results sometimes in multiple searches but yeah other reason for junk results could be some irrelevant posts to a topic.

    Exactly, in the amount of time that people waste with editing the content, they could have written twice the copy manually.

    Why are we even talking about this? There is such a thing as an advanced AI but these software applications are nowhere near that. Also, even that AI is incapable of producing a halfway decent article. It is currently learning (only) basic balancing skills and facial recognition – two amongst the many things that human babies master by the age of 1.

    Hire a writer who writes in your niche and be done with it. Anything else is a waste of everybody's time.

    When someone is browsing this forum only looking jobs; this thread may sound a like a waste but neither the title says writers wanted or posted in buy/sell section. So posts without contributing to the topic/question uniquely is definitely a waste.

    if you hire a writer the human brain is different and also what she/he knows about our topic also another problem for getting a good article. for example, i know about computers and i can write about this topic, but when i choose other topic let's say about fashion i can't write anything because what i know about it is a very little and how we can solve that problem? use a hundred writer????

    A good writer can write about anything. You don't need 100 writers. You just need writers who can do a bit of research. I write about things I know nothing about all the time. It's part of being a freelance writer.

    Yes. If you want specialists who know what they're talking about in each of those 100 niches beyond just regurgitating basic research then you hire 100 writers. But that's what you get if you choose to focus so broadly instead of narrowing down a niche specialty of your own. Otherwise you settle for generalists and try to make the most of them.

    You can use a hundred writers or be willing to pay someone who researches and writes quality content. I believe I can write good quality content on any subject. All I need to do is spend a little time on research. Of course I can write on what I know with out all the research and that makes the job that much easier. The problem that most writers encounter is that will not bring in the money they need.

    So, just look for someone who researches and try to stay away from writers who claim to be native to the United States, but their writing is as broken as their English. Always ask for a sample on your topic. Not just any sample they have written the past. I as a writer always offer to write 150 words on their niche. This is to show them I can write quality content on what they are looking for.

    Glad that works for you and all, but actually most professional writers will not write custom samples, and they shouldn't be asked to. Doing so is disrespectful towards them as a professional. If you can't judge the writer by their existing portfolio, either you're not equipped to be hiring or they're not the right writer for your project. Ironically, Yolander wrote about this very topic today at All Freelance Writing (link's below if you want to get a better feel for what pro writers think of the practice and why -- plenty of comments already).

    Nice response and great reading in that link. I bookmarked it. It is a good point in her case because if they asked 10 people to re-write different parts of the course they are actually getting the whole job done without spending a dime. Maybe in the near future Ill rethink my strategy (who knows) but right now I feel I can write a small sample in a few minutes and then make it back with the gig.
