Whether they are Apple, Android or another type, mobile phones have become an essential tool for many people. They can be used to keep up with friends and family, surf the web, shop and even write, and doing so may be a lot easier than you might think.<\/p>\n

Will this work for me?<\/h2>\n

While writing using a phone may not be suited to crafting the next great Canadian novel, it offers a way to work while away from your laptop, desktop or tablet. You can do so at home, while commuting or at almost anywhere, which means you can jot down ideas as they come and also make the most of your spare time. <\/p>\n

Why write using my phone?<\/h2>\n

You may be surprised to learn that phones , although small, can be a useful tool for writers. Apps like \u201cNotes” come with tools such as cut and paste, and can be paired with platforms including Google Docs. This way, you can save your work online and access it from anywhere. They often automatically back up your progress, which offers peace of mind if you don\u2019t tend to be as vigilant about this as you should be.<\/p>\n

There are other similar tools out there as well such as Pure Writer, JotterPad, and Writer Plus, so try a few of them, and see which one is the best fit for you. <\/p>\n

Explore the benefits of split screens<\/h2>\n

Many people find working with a split screen really improves their productivity. You can have two windows open at once, and use one as your source and type on the other. <\/p>\n

Another advantage is that it’s easy to increase or decrease font size on your screen. This makes reading easier, and can be beneficial if you have vision issues or simply find the text size too small.<\/p>\n

Options for accessibility<\/h2>\n

Perhaps you have a disability and find typing to be difficult, or maybe you want to keep your hand free, or you simply want to be more productive, voice-to-text options can be helpful. They have greatly improved in recent years, so you may want to check out apps like Dragon Anywhere. <\/p>\n

Some find it helpful to purchase a good quality-stand for their mobile device so they can be hands free while they dictate. <\/p>\n

Bring on Bluetooth<\/h2>\n

If you prefer using an actual keyboard, you may be able to use Bluetooth to pair one to your phone. It’s a good idea to \u201ctry before you buy\u201d if possible so that you find one that is comfortable for you. <\/p>\n

A good data plan can be your best friend<\/h2>\n

A review of tips for using your phone for writing won\u2019t be complete without a discussion about data. If you have a good data plan, you can craft, save and post articles even if you have no internet access. Shop around and find the best one for your budget. <\/p>\n

There IS such a things as a free lunch<\/h2>\n

With so many people developing apps and other software geared towards writers, it’s easier than ever for anyone to find useful tools. Many of these are free, and you can check reviews to help you decide whether or not they\u2019re right for you. <\/p>\n
