Writer Pro For the Mac: the best tool for productive work with text

iA Writer - fairly well-known program among those who work a lot with texts. Journalists, bloggers, and simply with writing uvlechaennye people have always valued iA Writer for his ascetic design and is positioned to the creation of a working environment. And iA Writer developers presented a new version of its application last week - Writer Pro. I have long and happy use iA Writer, so it just could not pass up a new Writer Pro, so I hasten to share with you my impressions about this app.

Prior Information Architects was quite a challenge. They had the idea to introduce new features. But how do they fit into the standard became austere interface, to continue the program could be considered a "minimalist"?

Despite the «Pro» prefix in the application name, starting Writer Pro, you immediately know the good old iA Writer. Adherents of minimalist text editors can not worry - despite the new opportunities, the application looks just as quietly and simply. No distracting interface elements - text-only and you. So where is the innovation?

application developers decided to break up the whole process of writing at 4 work areas: Note, Write, Edit, Read. I think it is quite logical, because usually all starts with ideas and sketches to the material, and only then on the basis of going directly to the article writing, editing and proofreading it.

In each work area has its own typefaces and cursor color. Here is the mode Note in Writer Pro, that is, the primary part of the writing process - sketching ideas.

The font is not as "strict" as in the other modes, the cursor color - green, subconsciously gives you the "green light" to any of your ideas. Here you can just leave any keywords, sentences, paragraphs, excerpts, quotes, which can be useful to you for the material.

After "collecting material" ends, we are transported to the next mode - Write. It looks exactly the same as iA Writer - blue cursor, the same typefaces. This is the main working area in which we spend most of the time. There sketches turn into solid material.

The next operating mode - EditIe, editing. This is the place in which we govern our prevailing material, we remove the superfluous parts grind, sharpen the wording. Typefaces - Georgia, mouse - red, which, in my opinion, is the theme. This is where our text becomes whole and complete, freed of excess.

The latter mode - Read, Proofreading. It is logical that there can not edit the text, it can only be read. This is the final chord before the text gets into print.

In addition, regardless of the work area on the right toolbar appears.

The first - a slider "workflow", which changes the working area in which we work. Second - this is the structuring of text. The choice we have 6 versions of the title text, plain text, and numbered or bulleted lists.

Third - it is Syntax, Which replaces Writer Pro Focus Mode from "ordinary» iA Writer. There are several modes - Sentence It allows you to focus on the current sentence and paragraph, Adjectivies - Displays adjectives Nouns - nouns, Adverbs - adverbs Verbs - Verbs, Prepositions - prepositions and Conjuctions - alliances. Unfortunately, all modes except Sentence, work only with latinnitsey.

Last toolbar - this statistic your text that displays the necessary time to read your article, characters, words, and paragraphs. Each toolbar item can be hidden by simply clicking hide.

Chips Writer Pro exactly went Program benefit: On the one hand, in the application a great work environment, challenging for writing, for which its people are so fond of working with texts, and on the other, the new features really let you work with text productively. The main highlight - a division into 4 work areas that are cool simplify the process, making it more logical. By itself, Writer Pro supports synchronization of iCloud, full screen mode, support for Retina-Display.

Frankly, I liked Writer Pro and I am pleased to recommend this app to anyone who working with text, and the fact that I wrote this review it in Writer Pro, eloquently confirms my words. In my opinion, Writer Pro features make this application the best in its class.
