Mendeley has to be done via the Word plugin (unfortunately). I think I’ll use the sync to external folder function to create rtf’s in Dropbox, which makes them editable across my devices with OfficeSuite and maintain the footnotes. I am using Scrivener to write and compose my master’s thesis, Grammarly for correcting grammar, Mendeley as my reference manager and I will use InDesign to format the thesis. What do you think? Is this a better way to do this? What other things could you possibly use the sync feature of Scrivener for? However, what it does is demonstrate that the sync feature of Scrivener can be used for a variety of purposes which, I think, in itself is worth pointing out. In fact, it is mostly just a little trick that can just as easily be accomplished through copy and paste.
In itself, this solution is not revolutionary.
It’s a good way to retain your original writing in case you’d want to go back and reference it later.I should also note that I’ve only tested this on Windows. The above steps also will seamlessly leave you a copy of the original text while saving the edited text as a separate file (if you decided to do so). This creates issues when you need to copy the text back into Scrivener. For example, comments I added in Scrivener that were not technically part of the text showed up in a copy/paste into the Grammarly app. There are a couple of benefits that I’ve noticed though.įor one, you can avoid formatting issues that seem to occur when you copy and paste between applications. In fact, if your text is plain in Scrivener, it will be faster to just do that. You can copy and paste and it’s going to be just as fast. OK so wait a minute, you ask: What’s the benefit of doing this over just a straight copy/paste? To be honest, not an awful lot.

This allows Grammarly to kind of take the place of the Android app I described in the Sync with Android article. The key for this to work, however, is that the text exported from Scrivener must be in Rich Text Format (RTF) for Grammarly to be able to export the corrected text back into the same format. Although Grammarly and Scrivener don’t integrate directly, by using the “External Sync” function, you can effectively move text from Scrivener to Grammarly, do your grammar checks and then save and sync it back to Scrivener. So if you want to use Grammarly to check the novel you’re writing, you have to copy and paste your text back and forth to be able to benefit from the technology solution Grammarly offers.Īs it turns out, you don’t. Unfortunately, Scrivener is not on the list of supported apps into which Grammarly integrates or supports. As such, it can be directly integrated into the environments that writers use for their work, whether it be your WordPress blog, Wattpad story, or the novel you’re writing in Word. Grammarly is also flexible and can added to Chrome, Word, and be used as a stand-alone app. It’s far from perfect but for me, Grammarly has actually helped me quite a bit with my writing (see my review here). Grammarly is, in case you didn’t know, an app that will help check your text for spelling and grammatical errors and suggest changes.
