Le migliori app Android per chi scrive storie, romanzi e sceneggiature | Raccolte | Softonic Lo smartphone è smart perché racchiude in pochissimo spazio tanti strumenti. Alcuni servono per lavorare, altri per divertirsi, altri per comunicare. Da giornalista, però, ho un debole per i programmi che aiutano chi scrive, per professione o per diletto, a scrivere meglio.

Ecco quindi una serie di app per cellulari e tablet Android da considerare se hai voglia di avere sempre con te tutto quello che ti serve per lavorare al tuo libro, al tuo articolo, alla tua sceneggiatura.

Bienvenido a Humanidades en Transición | Humanidades en Transición 7 free tools for anyone who wants to become a better writer The awesome (and scary) thing about being a writer is that you can always improve. It’s why people can sit on a draft for weeks—every time they take “one more look,” they can find a way to make it better. While it’s definitely a fun challenge to see how long you can keep finessing your work, it’s not always practical. After all, your boss usually doesn’t want you working on that press release for weeks on end while you try to brainstorm the perfect opening line. Thankfully, there are plenty of resources out there that can speed the editing process up and make you more confident about the work you’re submitting. 1. As much as Microsoft Word’s AutoCorrect function annoys us, we must admit to missing those green and red squiggly lines when we’re writing online. Enter: Grammarly (for Chrome users). 2.

Review: Maps for Time Travelers - Geography Realm Mark D.McCoy Maps for Time Travelers: How Archaeologists Use Technology to Bring Us Closer to the Past (University of California Press, 2020), pp. xviii, 257 ISBN: 9780520303164 $26.95 Amazon | Bookshop This book’s provocative title is, indeed, accurate but only half so. As advertised, it is a cogent survey of the geospatial technological advances over the last few decades which have enabled today’s archaeologists to map — that is, create digital versions of — the ancient world. But it is also an engaging introduction, for the general reader, to the very nature of archaeological research: ‘We are the only creatures on the planet, as far as we know, who can imagine what the world was like before we were born.’ The author is a professor of anthropology whose area of expertise is the archaeology of the Pacific islands in the era before contact with the outside world. Ad: The three chapters of Part II give us the story of the development of mapping technologies over the previous century.
