I tried the Dasher app available on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/dasher.android/ https://f-droid.org/packages/dasher.android/ Not updated since 2013, but I guess that just means it's in a stable state.
Trying to write with it was a trippy experience: just forging ahead without steering generated some interesting nonsense text, but even then it felt quite slow. Getting it to write exactly what I intended was rather challenging. (I did not have the patience to try writing this comment in Dasher.)
- novosel 6y agoWell, it's vocabulary grows to accommodate your writing habits. And nothing is ever erased, there is a txt file containing everything you've written. You can jump-start it with a txt collection of your particular writing style/lexicon. For me, the speed is not an issue. I feel like the speed/responsiveness of the medium is inversely related to the length of the final text. Speed of light for the poetry, longhand for a novel. There is a reason why old prose is such a lengthy affair, and why it so often flirts with the letter writing trope. (That is probably anchored in the rhetoric schooling of the writers of old.) N.B. I have been using only the desktop version of the Dasher. Nor did I use it to write this reply.
