WriteOnline is an online word processor with built-in tools for writing support from Crick

WriteOnline is a word processor to enable pupils of all abilities to create documents which will help develop independent writing skills using the integrated support tools. The tools include text-to-speech, spell checking, word prediction and word grids via the popular Wordbar tool.

WriteOnline is running online from any computer anywhere and you now also have the option of installing it on computers! A CD including both standalone and network installers as well as a specially built installer for RM CC3 and CC4 networks is now part of the package for all subscribers. No internet connection is necessary for the installed version.

Pupils using WriteOnline can submit their documents online to teachers for commenting and marking; and teachers reviewing pupils' documents will benefit from WriteOnline's analytic tools that track spelling corrections and pasted text.

Additional features:

  • Natural, high-quality British English speech feedback
  • Wordflow Word Predictor works as you type, displaying the most likely words at the top of its list. It's really easy to personalise prediction for individual needs too, ensuring that pupils are offered words at a level appropriate to their reading ability
  • Improved Wordbar writing grids gives instant point-and-click access to an unlimited number of words, phrases and even web addresses. Words are stored on tabs that you can modify to suit your personal needs or preferences while multiple grids can be opened at any one time
  • Teachers can create Wordbars for specific writing tasks and distribute them online, or let pupils edit and create their own Wordbars. You can even create Wordbars using text from web pages or documents. Plus you can download and use hundreds of free ready-made Wordbars at LearningGrids.com
  • Analytic teacher tools: WriteOnline's analytic tools enable you to see which words have been corrected with the spell checker, including their original spellings and their context in the document, and which text has been pasted from another source, so plagiarism can be tracked
  • NEW - Use online and install it too! WriteOnline can also be accessed via your learning platform or virtual learning environment (VLE)
