• Technology wont dish out ideas for your plots,
  but it will take care of the formatting so that
  you have all the time in the world to chew your
  fingernails or tear your hair over the twists and
  turns in your story. But you have the ideas, can
  wield the pen (the keyboard rather), and have a
  jolly good time playing with the language! So you
  probably need technology to take care of the
  sundry other stuff and let you get on with what
  you do best, writing. And so shall it!

1. Natural Reader

• You often read your work aloud after you finish
  writing. Most writers will agree that it is the
  best way to assess a written piece, especially to
  spot weak writing lines that do not make sense
  or sentences that do not sound right. Natural
  Reader is a free piece of software that does the
  reading for you. Leveraging text-to-speech
  technology, it lets you sit back, close your eyes
  and have your written piece read out to you.

2. Tinderbox

• Contrary to popular notions, a writer does not
  spend his days sprawled on a haystack or seated
  beneath a tree with only a notebook and a pen
  letting his mind wander. There are likely quite a
  few browser windows open on his computer, along
  with sundry bookmarks and virtual post-it notes.
  Heaven help the writer who has not indexed all
  these various chunks of information! Thankfully,
  Tinderbox comes along as the savior.

  you club all your various pieces of notes, web
  links, and research material according to

  index cards for each piece of information that
  lets you spot related pieces of data in a jiffy.
  Tinderbox is an extremely visual content
  management system that is just ideal for writers
  who want to have easy access to all their notes

3. Final Draft

• Its not easy to achieve the peculiarities of a
  film script layout with a typical word processing
  program. Using something like Word is an easy way
  to find yourself with a formatting nightmare on
  your hands. Luckily, theres Final Draft. This
  software is specifically crafted for the needs of
  script writers who can now concentrate on
  crafting stories instead of formatting text. In
  this context, it is worth mentioning that the
  Final Draft AV also allows documentary script
  writers to effortlessly format their written
  piece in the simultaneous video-and-audio layout.

• What does a writers desk look like? There are
  books, files and folders that hold reams of
  research material, almost countless index cards,
  and an equally bewildering number of post-its.

  and is an equally confusing maze to navigate.
  Enter Scrivener and poof! All chaos vanishes and
  order is restored.

  organize all the seemingly disparate and
  scattered texts, notes, post-its, markers, and
  comments related to a specific paragraph,
  sentence, or even a word in your story or article
  into a readily visible pile. You can thus focus
  on a particular section of your story or article,
  and yet have all the reference material related
  to this section at your fingertips.

5. Cliché Cleaner

• Avoid clichés like the plague. This is an
  often-repeated advice to writers, and the reason
  why Cliché Cleaner scans your written matter for
  commonly used figures of speech, repeated
  phrases, and of course, clichés and point these
  to you and that too, according to the sensitivity
  parameters you assign. It of course, doesnt go
  about fixing anything, but merely having a tool
  to instantly scan hundreds of pages for you saves
  you loads of time and effort.

  inspiration and plot ideas come everywhere but

  processor open in front him. So, the NEO is the
  perfect hardware for writers who would love to
  scribble a few lines or even entire pages when
  riding the subway or waiting at the bus stop. NEO
