There are many software programs out on the Internet and the probability of finding good software if you need something might be really low. When you find a program and it is a beta version the probability of being a good program is even lower.
Before testing 'Natural Word' I've watched a tutorial provided by the producer. It was an impressive tutorial. First, I've thought that this is a very good program for unexperienced 'MS Word' users because some of the commands can be performed with a simple mouse click. After a few minutes of testing the program I've discovered that writing is some times faster than searching for a certain feature. For example, underlining a certain text with a certain color can be done traditionally by selecting the text, selecting the underline color and then pressing the underline button. By using this program you need to select the text and write in the command line 'underline red'. In my opinion, the second way is faster.
The program can perform most of the actions you might perform while using Microsoft Word. As I mentioned above, this is only a beta version and I really want to see a final release. The most interesting part is that it is free. Its a long time since I've seen a free good software. Here you can see a
tutorial of this program and I think that this is going to help you understand how this program works.
Pluses: It's very easy to use even for newbies and it is very helpful.
Drawbacks / flaws: In conclusion: I recommend you at least to try this program. I did and I enjoyed it.
