If creating a great story were as simple as writing it down, you wouldn’t need any tool but a typewriter. But no matter your story, taking it from idea to completion is complicated – for effective brainstorming, outlining, storyboarding, writing, organization, and editing, a typewriter alone just won’t cut it.
That’s why modern writers have so much software to sort through as they navigate the creative process. At any given step, there might be a hundred different platforms and programs to choose from. Whether you’re an author completing a novel, a student composing an essay, or a content creator collaborating on a script, you might be using a dozen different online tools to complete a single project.
Now that you’ve found VocaTales – the best software for writing stories – you don’t have to! Our comprehensive storytelling platform provides every tool you need to create your best stories ever, all in one workspace
Discover how our story-writing software empowers authors, students, and storytellers of all kinds with intuitive writing tools
The secret power behind VocaTales all-in-one storytelling platform is our seamless integration of storyboarding software with an advanced text-editor. Both equipped with next-gen creative tools for authors, students, and storytellers of any skill level or creative persuasion.
Generally, online storyboards provide only basic tools for plotting scenes and sequences, designed primarily for visual media. Our storyboards software is built around the elements of craft and structure that all great stories have in common, whether they’re presented as novels, essays, poems, videos, or any other creative media. That means you can do more with your boards – add everything from chapters and scenes or notes and images, to story building blocks like characters, themes, and locations – so it’s intuitive to brainstorm, plan, and outline effectively.
And because everything on your boards is linked directly to your text document, you can stay organized, rearrange sections, and instantly reference key information whether you’re writing in your document or working with visual structures on storyboards.
Combining text and visual organization also makes it easy to collaborate with editors and reviewers through multiple levels of feedback. Zoom in from high-level feedback on structures and story elements to layered drilldown boards and in-line comments in your document.
Whether you're an author, a college student, or a collaborative team, we've got you covered.
Craft your next draft on a smart text editor with all the best tools you’d find on a normal word-processor – and then some. Enlist an AI assistant to help with formatting, mechanics, and multilingual translation. And seamlessly integrate text with storyboards by adding section breaks and tagging board elements in your document.
Visualize the invisible elements of craft that drive effective storytelling: create compelling outlines and story structures, brainstorm critical story elements using customizable building blocks, and transition seamlessly back and forth from storyboards to your document.
