These days people are using their mobile phones for much more than making phone calls. Besides being able to send texts to friends, play games and listen to music, there are also many applications that help you to use your phone for writing. In this article I list ten useful iPhone apps for writers.
Wikipanion
This app makes it easy to conduct research from Wikipedia. it uses a direct connection with the Wikipedia servers to bring you super fast search results.
Evernote
This note-taking app makes it very easy to write notes, organize them, and synchronize your notes between your computer and phone.
Another good note-taking app. With Springpad you can also collaborate with other writers and even create public notebooks to share.
This app from Writing.Com offers creative inspiration with prompt generators featuring current events, scene elements, words, sketches, colors, genres and writing types.
Stumped for an idea? This app generates three random words which might jumpstart your writing and creativity.
CarbonFin Outliner is a great app for organizing your ideas. Create hierarchies such as sections, chapters, and paragraphs. Drag and drop to rearrange your content.
This is a mindmapping app that makes it a breeze to mind-map on your iPhone.
Dragon Dictation
This is a voice recognition application that allows you to turn voice into text as you speak. It's up to five times faster than typing on the keyboard.
This is an app that allows you to program commonly-used snippets of text with shortcodes. For example you could use a snippet like “addr” to automatically expand to your entire address.
This is a fun word count app for writers to keep you on track and productive.
Don't forget that another useful tool on your phone is the camera. You can use it to capture images that either inspire you or contain details that you might need later.
There are many more iPhone apps for writers, of course, and this article only listed ten of them. Did I miss one of your favorites? Please leave a comment below.
