![]() I reluctantly admit that I haven't yet talked myself into tackling the learning curve on printing out anything but the simplest of documents from Scrivener. After all, Scrivener is designed for writers, and a good number of them write about Scrivener! It helps a lot, though, that Googling Scrivener along with a function of the program will produce dozens of how-to articles. It helps if a user makes a conscious decision to learn and use only the bare bones at first, but it can be difficult to figure out what bare bones to use and where they are. The complexity does, however, make the program intimidating to beginning users. Scrivener is endlessly flexible, fitting any way you can think of to help you write the best prose you possibly can and print it in just about any way you may need, including producing files suitable for publication in online bookstores such as Amazon. ![]() Settings configuration and interface are very unintuitive. Indexing and contents pages with page numbers is a process that gives me nightmares. Compiling process is complex and, as yet, I've not mastered it. Windows version works OK, but there's no Android version. Seems to be designed primarily for Mac users. I've used it for two books of 80,000 words. I've tried many other authoring programs and LibreOffice and Word, and find Scrivener suits my requirements best. Good backup features, saving as draft to DropBox for use on Android and auto-syncing back to PC. Good for keeping research, notes, images with the manuscript. Broad adoption in many countries and active support community. While I congratulate the designers, I admit to not liking Scrivener - but it is the best of the bunch.Įxcellent user manual. Basic writing, scene organisation, editing are all 10/10 fine, but for anything below the surface, users can expect an arduous learning curve. Opmerkingen: My impression is that most software for authors is designed by IT people with insufficient collaboration with authors. Additionally, the software is only available for Mac and Windows, so users of other operating systems are out of luck. The learning curve can be steep, as there are a lot of features and settings to learn in order to get the most out of it. While Scrivener is a great tool for writers, it is not without its faults. ![]() The ability to easily switch between different views and documents makes it easy to keep track of the structure and progress of a project. It offers a wealth of features, including an intuitive user interface, an advanced outlining tool, and an integrated search and indexing system. Scrivener is an incredibly powerful and versatile writing tool that is perfect for organizing research, drafting and editing manuscripts, and compiling a finished work. Despite a steep learning curve, Scrivener is a great choice for serious writers. It is comprehensive, intuitive, and feature-rich, making it ideal for organizing, drafting, and editing manuscripts. Opmerkingen: Overall, Scrivener is an excellent writing tool for authors of all levels. ![]()
