[stylist] Writing Software

The way these programs are setup you have access to a screen that has all of
the scenes in a list and you can reorder multiple scenes at a time. In Word,
you have to navigate to the scene you want to move, select all of the text
for that scene, then you have to find where you want to move it which could
be a couple of chapters a way.

How is it easier to move scenes? I have only worked with Word, but I have
not found moving text or scenes around terribly difficult, but I also have
not done it with large amounts of text. What specifically are the
differences?

yWriter is accessible and Simon is great about making prompt changes when it
comes to accessibility. It has great features for being able to organize
your thoughts and you can also import/export/and re-import. (i.e. export a
chapter or two into word to work on my on my phone or in my case a u2 mini,
then re-import back into yWriter to continue plotting, writing, or moving
things around. It is much easier to move scenes than it is in Word.

Hi all,

Up to this point I have been writing in Word, but it can be complicated with
an extremely long document, so I am looking for a better option. From what I
have read, Scrivener seems to be the most popular writing software. Is it
accessible with any screenreader? (Jaws, NVDA or VoiceOver for the mac) If
not, is there an alternative program that is accessible? (I'm most
interested in Windows based programs since I'm not very good with a mac yet.
But if that's the only option I'd work on becoming more proficient with VO.)

Thanks,
Sarah
