Nota Bene takes all of the heavy lifting off of the writing process and allows me to enjoy the research and writing process, whereas Microsoft Word forces me to do plenty of additional of manual work, and even tools that can speed up the process do not seamlessly integrate into the program as well as Nota Bene’s suite. Nota Bene is the luxury ocean liner, whereas general word processors such as Microsoft Word are rowboats. I can either cross the ocean in a luxury ocean liner and have staff take all of the heavy load off of me so I can sit back and enjoy the experience, or I can cross the ocean in a rowboat and have to manually row my way across the ocean. I consider writing an academic paper equivalent to crossing the Pacific Ocean. The power of Nota Bene is its integration of various components into a single application (called the Nota Bene workstation), allowing me to have everything I need to organize my research and handle my writing effortlessly. I was going to cover Scrivener, but I will cover it next week due to the fact that Nota Bene is having a Back to School sale until the end of August.ĪskWoody members may wonder why did I invest the extra funds and time into using Nota Bene, when many students simply use Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, or a similar general word processor for writing papers. In this week’s Back to School App Spotlight, I want to focus on my favorite word processor for academic writing: Nota Bene.
