Note October 17, 2016: a new and updated guide on iOS text editors is now available. Introduction iPhone and iPad users have a bewildering abundance of plain text editors from which to choose. For projects not requiring complex formatting, there's really no need to bother with a word processor. Devotees of minimalism will revel in the files these editors churn out: text, just plain old text.

The documents resulting from the manipulation by an iOS text editor may be good enough as they are, but if doctoring is required, they can be formatted to an extent using Markdown, a simple alternative to HTML, which many editors support. If Markdown cannot deliver the desired results, the documents can be loaded into word processors and toyed with until results reach the very summit of desk-top publishing. The possibilities for using a text editor are virtually limitless: composing reminder notes, random thoughts, diary entries, calendar items, blog posts, shopping lists, book or software reviews, poems, short stories--this is only a partial list.

I installed the 2016 for mac and this worked fine. I'm in the Netherlands.) - i had two step verification, so i tried an app pasword (did not work) and now i have just disabled this So far absolutely nothing has worked and i'm getting a bit desperate. How do i put in my activation code for microsoft office on a mac computer. I tried this but this didn't work. However if i open it and log into my account to activate it says there is a machine installation error and that i can try to activate via phone. So far i have tried: - uninstalling word (completely following the problem page) - removing the key and running the script from the problem page - making a new account on my computer to see if I can install from here - activating by phone - removing all licenses with a script from the problem page - changing the area of my computer to USA and back (this solved it for some people apparently.

Documents can be stored on the user's iPhone or iPad and, if desired, auto-synced to the cloud. All of the editors reviewed in this guide feature auto-syncing which completes a mere seconds after a file has been closed. If an Internet connection is not present, files can be edited and saved offline for syncing when a connection is re-established. The five text editors reviewed here are Droptext, PlainText 2, Notesy for Dropbox, Nebulous Notes, and Simplenote. Each can be used on either the iPhone or iPad, and each works well with VoiceOver.

Text can be entered from the iDevice's on-screen keyboard or an external device such as a Bluetooth keyboard. Each offers some kind of auto-syncing option (all sync to Dropbox, some to iCloud as well, and one to its own servers), and each integrates with TextExpander, an iOS utility that automatically transforms text abbreviations into their unabbreviated forms. While preparing this guide, I had occasions to email the editors' developers, and most of them answered my questions in a timely manner, sometimes within hours of my having emailed them. This guide does not lay claim to thoroughness and definitiveness for two reasons.

First, I am a relative newcomer to the iOS platform and up until two weeks ago had never used an iOS text editor; so any pretension at completeness and expertise would be illegitimate. Second, I know of additional text editors that I could have included, but I felt the guide was quite long enough with five. I chose the products I evaluated after first reading about them and others on the VIPhone Google group email list and the AppleVis.com website, then reading reviews in the Apple App Store, and finally taking them for test drives.

I hope you find the information in this guide useful. If any of it is misleading or just plain wrong, please feel free to tell me by emailing me at coffeebuff@gmail.com.

Of course, I would also like to hear if you have found the guide helpful or if you have suggestions for its improvement. Two notable editors are missing from this guide. I wanted to write about Elements 2 by Second Gear.

This product once received high marks from the iOS online community, but when I went to buy it from the Apple App Store, I discovered it was no longer available in the U.S. An inquiry emailed to the developer resulted in a note telling me the product had to be at least temporarily withdrawn from the market because of serious bugs. Also missing from this guide is AccessNote from the American Foundation for the Blind, the only text editor designed specifically for VoiceOver users. This app has already garnered a great deal of coverage on the AppleVis website and the VIPhone email list, so I have chosen not to cover it.

Droptext Developer: Invisions Technical Arts LLC Developer Website: unavailable Version as of Feb. 10, 2013: v2.0.3, released May 13, 2013 Price: $.99 Droptext holds a place of honor in the App Store since it was the first text editor to appear there. It offers auto-syncing with a Dropbox account and an uncluttered interface. All buttons are clearly and correctly labeled for VoiceOver access. Droptext creates a folder in the user's Dropbox root directory called Droptext, which offers a convenient storage area for saved files. When editing a file, the user has virtually the whole screen on which to work, unencumbered by buttons that might otherwise get in the way.
