Overall Satisfaction with Writer

I have to write a lot of FAQs for my field force and Writer helps me write them fast and without mistakes. Forget writer's block, we all face situations when we face a difficulty writing proper grammar. Spelling is another time killer when you are typing. You have to go back to each mistake, select and correct the mistake. With Writer, I can do all these from my side panel and instantly. So I am confident even when sending my writing to my management, as I know Writer has my back.
  • It has a clean interface and is easy to read.
  • Chrome integration makes my life easier. My organization doesn't allow external software
  • It counts words as well so I don't have to use another doc manager like MSWord to count words when I am in a tight spot
  • It checks as you write so you will know your mistakes instantly
  • The suggestion tool seemed a little slow. I don't think it's my internet as I saw it both from my home and office.
  • Web text boxes created some trouble for me as I couldn't correct my mistakes from the prompt. I had to use the side panel
  • Writer should take note of Grammarly. I really liked it when Grammarly tells me whether my writing tone is optimistic, or formal
  • On-the-go spelling check and scoring system tells me if there are any mistake
  • Writer's own word processor is very useful. For some reason writing in it felt very soothing
  • It also gives a word count so you don't have to use another word processor when writing for social media or filling up any official doc with a fixed word count
  • After introducing Writer, to my email team, their response to customers is now much more polished and error-free
  • Writer can add voice typing which will make the process much faster
  • I use mostly Firefox. There is no extension for Firefox. Which is not helpful for Firefox users.
Grammarly is very advanced, but I use Writer as It offers me additional features like word count, a cleaner interface, and a word processor for taking notes.

Would you buy Writer again?

Writer is well suited when you are writing in a word processor or Google Docs. It also has its own word processor in case you need it. Writer also says it helps with AI-driven writing. It offers suggestions when it finds something. Either I write really well or the AI is lazy. It offered very few suggestions to me. I think if you fill in a lot of web forms you might face a little discomfort as the prompt doesn't work and you have to make the correction from the side panel.
