Text to Speech: A great proofreading tool
If you are like me, you make common grammar and spelling mistakes in your writing, which sometimes can hinder with the message or story you are trying to get out. Also, most of the time, you miss those mistakes when proofreading. Well, a good tool that I use is my Mac’s “Text to Speech” feature, and I use it to read back what I wrote, and to check if what I wrote made sense. I do this with most of my writing (with the exception of Tweets, Facebook statuses, AIM conversations, etc.), and while it is a little time consuming, it helps me feel more confident and “sure” when publishing, or handing in work.

ScreenFlow: Professional Screencasting
As a reviewer and tech enthusiast, I find myself teaching those less technically aware than myself how to do various computer tasks that range in complexity. I find myself frequently having to physically show my audience a solution, rather than writing or vocally explaining. I have also recently taken to recording technology based tutorials for a wider audience, and without ScreenFlow none of this would be possible.

MacSnapper: Creating tutorials with style
MacSnapper is a great application for creating great easy to follow tutorials. MacSnapper even allows you to export your work into a PDF, HTML page, or to WordPress format. If you wanted to create an interesting and impressive tutorial for your blog or site, then MacSnapper is the application for you. I feel that the developer’s of MacSnapper were aiming to create an application specifically for creating step-by-step tutorials, manuals, kiosks, user guides or even personal notes. MacSnapper has an easy-to-use interface offering you tons of features to get the most out of the application.
