While it is possible to simply start a new blank document and begin typing or dictating (I routinely use it with Dragon or OSX's built in speech-to-text, a slightly watered down version of Dragon), Mellel comes with more than 35 document templates, ranging from envelopes to scripts, including a variety of journal article formats. Other features include palette or keyboard based styles controls addressing character, paragraph, list, section, page and table management. I have used it for academic papers, and several academic and nonacademic book length projects. It’s academic orientation gives it features like bibliographic links to the staples Bookends or Sente, and superb footnote and endnote management, but it is also a fine general-purpose wordprocessor, equally capable in the home office or small business setting.

Translation from Grade 2 Braille to English is not an easy task and this functionality in the app is about 98% correct and still evolving. The app can convert the Braille to English and, optionally, identify the contractions used. The dictionary shows multiple meanings where applicable. This is NOT a dictionary of every word in English converted to Braille, rather it is a complete listing of the symbols and combinations of symbols you may find in a Grade 2 Braille document. This is a great idea for people working on learning Braille as you can read through the books and check the translation if you get stuck.Īn in-app dictionary is included with Pro that allows you to look up the Braille letters, numbers, symbols, and contractions by English or by Braille.
