Lets say you are in a situation where in you want to update some text document along with a few other business partners and friends and all the information has to be updated in real-time live and also with a option of saving it automatically. The first and foremost suggestion for this would be implementing Google Docs, but what if all your friends are not a Google Account holder and for a 10minutes job, its not a good deal to signup for a new Google Account and then proceed with the stuff. The reason for this is the Online Collaboration Tool available in the form of a website called as www.typewith.me offering free public document creation.
Another reason why this service is recommended over Google Docs or Zoho is that, its not going to require any heavy resources and is just like any other simple web application. Once you access the website you will get a new URL which is dynamically generated like www.typewith.me/anythinghere , You can just share that specific web page URL with anyone and everyone who has accessed the URL can start editing the document easily online.
The document is automatically tracked and you can check out all the changes made in the document from the very beginning in the form of a excellent graphic using the option of ‘Time Slider’ on the top right. If your friends have visited the document, they can add their names and you can easily start chatting with them, with the chat log displayed on the bottom right column.
Different names are displayed in different colors and the document content is also shown with different colors, in order to make you recognize the text written by each user easily. The above screenshot can make you understand everything easily. At the end of editing you can Export the document in the following formats.
Export current document as: HTML, Plain text, Bookmark file, Microsoft Word, PDF, OpenDocument. Also allows you to import a document and edit it online easily.
Does typewithme have the option of editing the document by multiple users at the same time?
