Need to find a good outlining software for speeches

(1/1)

Hi,

I'm talking a speech-writing course and I'm looking for a good outlining software. I tried using Google docs and Word, but Google docs is too hard to use, and Word is too expensive. I'm currently using WorkFlowly, but it's meant more as a day planner than an outliner. Any suggestions.

P.S sorry for the bad formatting and grammer

dr_andus:
There are many different categories of outliner software out there. What features are you looking for specifically and for which platform? Online/offline? Singe-pane with or without inline notes or dual pane outliners?

What is it that you don't like about WorkFlowy? It is a fairly capable outliner.

But to get you started with some alternatives, you could check out

* Noteliner - single or dual pane without inline notes
* Gingko App - horizontal outliner
* Outline 4D - vertical and horizontal outliner with inline notes
* Scrivener - dual-pane (and more)
* WhizFolders - dual-pane (and more)
I also like Natara Bonsai (5 Desktop Edition) but I don't know if it's still possible to buy a licence. Although it's a mind mapper, Freeplane can also work as a pretty good outliner.

I'd suggest Scrivener. Very good program for any kind of writing. Feature rich without getting overly complex or esoteric. Highly recommended.

Note: It's currently on sale for $19.50 over at deals.ghacks.net:
