Any frustrated user of Google Docs should run not walk to check out Zoho Writer, a free online collaborative writing tool that equals Docs in every way and surpasses it in many others. Yes, you can collaborate with others on a document, just like Docs, which means you can comment, contribute together, and write together in real time. It's also easier to track and see changes in Zoho Writer than it is in Docs. You can publish to a Wordpress blog. Seriously I would need to write a blog post to over Zoho Writer's features than Docs can't match, but here's a few that I like and use: Templating (any doc you create can become a template for new docs); built-in mail merge; electronic signatures, importing documents from other cloud drives; saving to other cloud drives; per document offline mode; exporting as epub, open document (or Word, of course); a well-designed interface with color icons; personal dictionary; Quick Text (autotype of sorts); built-in thesaurus; endnotes and footnotes; table of contents; extensive formatting and printing tools.... OK, I'll stop. The feature list is extensive. If there's something Zoho Writer lacks, I haven't noticed it yet.

It runs a little slow on underpowered machines, like the Chromebook I'm writing on now. Also, it wasn't immediately apparent how to turn off seeing and tracking changes.

I use it because of its simplicity and the fact that sharing and downloading your document in multiple formats is much easier than with Google Docs or Microsoft Word on Android.

Zoho writer is an excellent, completely free document editor with an elegant design and awesome export options.

I have only found three small issues with Zoho writer: 1) Onboarding within the Android app is slow and often crashes the app 2) Copy Paste from other apps is slightly strange and loses all formatting, including paragraph breaks. 3) There is no markdown support

I have used this application to make some drafts of my writings before making the final article. My boss corrects these drafts using this platform, that speeds up the correction process and efficiently, so it's much easier to have a quick response to publish.

It's an easy-to-use text editor that works in real time, is flexible and works for any professional who needs to edit documents, you can even make edits from your cell phone. You can share your writings with other people, it is quite safe and reliable.

Feels like a basic text editor, with basic editing functions, could improve on many technical and functional aspects.

It is completely amazing, I love working on Zoho writer and my whole team can simultaneously have a look at my work and edit it. Also, the tracking feature is great.

The way we can create our own template for all our future documents and how it is so easy to directly publish WordPress blogs makes it much better when compared to its competitors.

Well, it's free software with so many features and there is hardly anything I dislike about it. Just that it sometimes gets stuck!

Zoho Writer is an acceptable software to work with documents in the cloud. It is important to take advantage of this software how intuitive it can be, it is quite useful to autocomplete certain functions saving time and effort, in addition to its functions with the sources and presentation of the document, which are quite good. I think that this software can be improved in order to consider a more close competition with other softwares with the same characteristics.

When I did my tests looking for the best editor of text documents in the cloud I got with the company Zoho and its software compendium. Among those was Zoho Writer, which offers you the option to modify documents in the cloud in real time and collaboratively. Zoho Writer has an excellent intuitive platform, which offers autocompletion options and use of fonts according to the aesthetics of the document. Allows you to export documents to other software without losing the format

In spite of being an acceptable software it has some defects that diminish it in front of the competition: - You can not modify master documents. -You can not organize documents in folders or you can customize them. -It has no spell checker. Although these aspects seem minor, other softwares do, leaving Zoho Writer on a different level

Zoho Writer is part of Zoho Suite. Zoho Writer is user friendly and easy to use tool which can resolve almost all the challenges faced during document processing. Affordable and recommended.

Zoho Writer is an awesome document processing tool which help users to collaborate and edit simultaneously. Following are the key features of Zoho Writer: 1. Helps in working remotely 2. Enables users to add comments 3. Emojis are available 4. Marking chapters and separators in the document 5. Template for various purposes

There is nothing to dislike about Zoho Writer. New features are coming in to compete with the MS office products. A very well tool to replace Google Docs.

Very positive.

I love Zoho writer as it has a lot more features, better layout, and works as expected.

I don't like that they don't have a desktop app.

Zoho offers real-time collaborative text editing, allowing you to work on documents with collaborators in real time.

What I really like is that, in addition to its writing capabilities, Zoho Writer allows you to integrate other software such as Google Drive or OneDrive, making it easy to access and import your stored files.

What I don't like is the interface, which I personally don't appreciate much, despite it being a good text editing tool.

When I didn't have access to Microsoft Word, Zoho Writer came in very handy. I am very impressed and will continue to use .

I first encountered Zoho Writer 10 years ago, because I was looking for an alternative to Microsoft Word. It was the precursor to Google Docs and 10 years later I am still impressed with its simple interface, easy functionality and great customer service. The fact that Zoho Writer is cloud bases was my "green light" to continue using it. I knew that I'd always have a backup of my documents in case my hard drive gave out. I also like that you can attach other well known apps to Zoho Writer as well.

There's nothing that I don't like about this program. I

Zoho helps meet our time tracking needs and is cost efficient. Depending on what you need if for its a decent CRM for the money.

I'm primarily in the product for time & attendance but we're considering a few other Zoho solutions. Zoho is easy to use and very easy to export data for the purposes of analytics. When working on government contracts this is of prime importance.

There are many HRIS systems that have this functionality tied into a more robust systems. But I guess it comes down to what you need it for if you don't need an HRIS but are in the market for a CRM then Zoho will do the trick and its priced better than Salesforce.

I didn't have to settle for a basic word processing software that's costly. It's right in my browser, and I can edit documents to the finest of details and in a more graphic style.

I have an older computer that doesn't support traditional word document programs. Being a webmaster, I appreciate the ability to completely customize documents, down to the finest details. The integration within Writer is so awesome. You can share the documents with your contacts directly from the application, and if you have Zoho e-mail it will auto populate your contacts as you type them in. When creating the actual documents, rearranging content and editing it is so easy and fast. It has a very legible (and collapsible!) editing interface, allowing you to quickly find the editing tool that you need. Just like other Zoho applications, every function is easily searchable, and intelligently itemized on the toolbar. I was so surprised at just how many templates are already on the application. You can pick one and completely customize the whole thing. Being a fan of the Microsoft excel format, I love that the "text boxes" are actual tables and cells. It makes using the program very easy to learn. It's free with a Zoho account and super easy and fast to install the web application.

The application is sometimes buggy, but it's a free app. When moving content from page to page it tends to jump around and make the application run slowly, or crash altogether. Other than that, it's perfectly fine for daily use!

The neat interface helps you focus purely on your writing, and it has three modes for Compose, Review and Distribute life-cycles of document creation. It has both online and offline modes, and integrates very well with WorkDrive and other products of the Zoho suite. The intelligent writing assistant, powered by Zia is also a good touch.

I would love to see a programmatic / scripting interface to automate various aspects of the writing life cycle.

I use Zoho Writer to create numerous kinds of documents - from plain text to much more elaborate documents. I also use it to collaborate on various documents - either back or forth in creating new material, or by sending it out for approval. The software is more than capable of holding it's own next to Microsoft Word.

This is probably my favorite online word processing software tool that is free to use. Zoho Writer can do anything and everything that Microsoft Word can do that I would ever use. And the best part is that it's free.

Works best when you're working on a document that you created in Zoho Writer and not imported from Word, which is unfortunate since the entire world uses Word. This is especially true for anything more than straight ahead document. Anything that comes from a Word template requires lots of tweaking. Fortunately, Zoho Writer comes with some really nice templates, albet nothing on the scale of Word.

J'apprécies surtout le mode collaboratif

Zoho Writer est un outil de saisi de texte et traitement de document basé sur le cloud

Dépendance d'internet et fonctionnalité limités pour la version gratuite

With some tasks, the program copes much better than a word. I checked this on myself. Take at least a spelling check. A quality and convenient program that is less demanding of resources and is available 24 hours a day via the Internet.

The menu is located non-standard, but so much more convenient, in fact. We just got used to it differently, but you get used to the good quickly. It is worth adding integration with other applications.

Un rapide logiciel

Cette application me permet de générer mes documents

Une fois supprimer on ne peut plus récupérer ses documents

I like it a lot, but some times I have issues with compatibility

Its affordable, easy to use and we can use it in any device

Not fully compatible with MS word, we have issues with templates

I recommend trying a new version of an online editor for text documents. My opinion is clear - google documents and Word-online it's time to send to retire. Zoho Writer - really cool thing.

The package is still in the shadows and few people know about it. Therefore, there is not enough training material to work with it.

I like the variety of templates that are available. They help me to create attractive documents with a couple of clicks, I can make a good impression thanks to this. There is an option that allows you to publish these created documents and share them on the Web or in your blog.

There are moments that I feel a bit slow when using the tools. It only happens on some occasions. Everything else, very good.

One of the most important things is that when accessing this type of software is to realize how everything is evolving. This text editor is available in the service cloud and is very similar to the popular one (word). The best of all is the access and it does not take up space on your disk. It is simple to use and create documents.

At the moment I do not have any kind of complaint. Everything offered seems very complete and having my file backed up automatically makes it a very efficient software.

I have created good presentations and I have done a lot of work with the word processor, it is easy to use, I can access it through my email Hotmail, I have been able to chat with my classmates when we are doing a joint work and I always have available my information when I require it, it is very reliable

They have a good word processor, I can export to PDF and Word, I can work offline, I can download the documents I have created and I can see it from other programs such as Google Docs, I can share my documents with other individual users or with user groups assigning certain access permissions to the shared resource, I like the variety of templates and images it brings and I can use emoticons

It's a bit slower than other online office suites, but it's fine and the storage capacity is small

A notepad or a wordpad is not enough. Now I can take advantage with this text editor, which contains many templates for different types of needs. It is excellent, easy to use and super complete. It is an important complement of the cloud.

It is only available while you have Internet access. This is not a complaint, I like it. It is very useful and I feel that many software will go to this type of availability.

used as an online alternative to buying ms office and word.

great alternative to microsoft office and word. has the same features but you'll have to do a quick learning of their menu paths

have to learn how zoho classifies different functionality. it's just about the same but why learn another system when u could use g-docs

Something I like very much, apart from accessibility is the availability of templates. They are completely different and with good designs to develop small arts or attractive documents.

I have not yet become completely used to the change but it seems to me that everything is fine with this software at the moment.

Writer is an easy to use program, much like Google Docs and WPS. You can get most of all your word processing done in writer as well as collaborate with other users. There are a lot of support for other outlets such as docusign and its easy to integrate into other programs. Its free, so there's no sense in worrying about the price.

The worst part is that there is not a spell check. I did not see one available. I would still choose to have Microsoft Word over any writer out on the market. There are not as many bells and whistles as having Office, so you may be limited to certain features if you choose writer.
