How My Alphasmart NEO Word Processor Tripled My Productivity
In the past, I would take a notebook and pen when running errands, etc...but also ran into the dilemma of noting producing content as quickly as I can when I type. How did I finally find the best of both worlds? The Alphasmart NEO word processor. It's a portable word processor made specifically with students in mind, but since then, writer's everywhere utilize the NEO and its sister processor the DANA. Currently, this machine is used in schools and classrooms with teachers for certain lesson plans. Many that register for National Novel Writing Month use the NEO to pound out their novels.
It has an application that can check your English grammar downloadable from Alphasmart website. Being able to just focus on my writing, without too much editing allows me to create pages of content that normally I wouldn't be able to produce. When I'm ready, I simply use the USB cord that came with my NEO and plug it in then plug it into my laptop and hit "Send" to empty out the contents of my word processor onto a Word document or Notepad file. If I didn't have a computer to use, I could just as easily use a computer at a library or an internet café, dumping the content into a word processing program and then saving the information to a portable USB or thumb drive.
Depending on your workload or applications you rely on, a small laptop maybe the perfect ticket. I just like knowing I can I can turn on my NEO, type and turn it off and not worry about losing my data as it saves everything automatically-and again, I'm not going to run out of battery life any time soon.
