My new favorite app for writing emails and other documents on my Touch is WriteRoom. It it both accessible and versatile, though it is not free. Despite the rather hefty price tag at $4.99, it is well worth it.
For me, accessibility is key and WriteRoom wins hands down here. Not only does it offer a widescreen mode, but a reverse pinch (the zoom gesture) takes the app to full screen mode, adding viable scree real estate. WriteRoom offers an inverse color scheme (shown in the screen shot below) with scalable fonts. My only gripe here is that the maximum font size ought to be larger.
On top of accessibility, the app has both simplicity and versatility on it’s side. The interface is clean and intuitive. Documents can be backed up and accesses online ( and by a program on Mac computers). Files can also be sent to directly to the Mail app (a fairly standard feature). My only gripe here is that the name of the app is inserted into the subject line automatically.
My gripes are quite minor in the face of WriteRoom simplicity, accessibility and versatility. If you write many emails or other documents on your iPhone or Touch, the cost of this app will be money you will treasure this app. It may not be the best $5 you ever spend in the App Store, but it might be close. Check out WriteRoom att the App Store.

my question is what is your exact diagnosis? I mean will this program do me any good at 20/400? I appreciate all you do to bring ideas out in the open. Thanks for your insight.
Just wondering if WriteRoom works with Dragon dictate.
That is a great question. I imagine it does with a little copy and paste magic. I will try this out today.
