COMPOSErightTM with COMwriter®

...re-writing the way we write...

Today's writing challenges:

  • Searching library databases on the internet to find relevant
    articles: painful, too much info to search through (!%#?!)
  • Printing articles you find and manually write notes; then loosing
    them, or not being able to find that gem quote (damn!)
  • Using bibliographic software to manage references (if you dare to
    use them!)
  • Trying to figure out how to put a good essay/argument together
    with pen and paper (a bit old fashioned isn't it?)
  • Actually writing (typing), adding headings, quotes, lists and figures
    as you go…need to sort out formatting-as-you write
    • Available templates don't help
    • Inconsistent formatting; not sure if this is what the
      teacher wants
    • Change something and it mysteriously updates something
      you didn't want it to
    • Having to update figure numbers and table of contents
      as you go
    • Changing headers and footers when you change from
      portrait to landscape and back again (why does page
      numbering get out of sync?)
    • Can't add that list of figures/tables/exhibits you need
    • Manually managing your glossary and list of abbreviations
    • Changing my target journal, so I need to change to another
      journal's style guide manually
    • Spending endless amounts of time trying to get the
      formatting right rather than actually writing
      (a good writing avoidance tactic!)
    • Spellcheck always defaults to a dictionary that is not my
      chosen one
  • Needing to talk to colleagues on the phone, they don't
    answer so you don't know what they have done on the project
  • Having to write reminders within the body of the essay (deleting
    them as you go), can't link them to your calendar
  • I'd like to have my teacher or supervisor review my document
    and have to send them a 'version' while I keep working on
    the document (versions get mixed up!)
If just one of the above resonates with you, then you need COMwriter®!

COMwriterTM features (patent pending):

  • Inbuilt access to references to cite in your document as you write
  • Online resource databases to search, tag, make notes about and
    associate with your writing project making it easy to find and use
  • Invite colleagues to work on the writing project with you,
    allocating specific parts of a document to them
    (changing views; e.g. see my parts only)
  • Maintain your own database of frequently used terms
    (acronyms, abbreviations, special glossaries, organisation
    names, people names, placenames, etc.), that are easily editable
  • Smart reminders, notes and bookmarks that you don't ever need to
    delete and can see them in a ToDo listing taking you straight to them
  • Drop 'n drag writing objects to change the order of your writing
  • Check out the structure of your writing using the writing plan
  • Save and re-use work in another writing project (e.g., biography)
  • Format your entire document with one click of the mouse using
    pre-defined style guides to academic standards (or create your
    own to use over and over again). Never again will I need to even
    think about fonts, tabs, size and so on
  • Add resources to my COMwriter® to personalise the
    app to my writing needs: templates designed by academics,
    discipline-specific glossaries, specialised dictionaries, official
    list of special terms (scientific symbols, etc.), and much more
