Freewrite Traveler | Lightweight and Portable Typewriter with E Ink Digital Screen for Distraction-Free Drafting | Word Processor with Wifi Cloud Sync and Long Battery Life for Writers on the Move

Buying this device is difficult because there are so many mixed reviews out there that don’t cover anything in detail so I will try to address the regular concerns and explain why I love my Freewrite Traveler. The Freewrite Traveler is awesome! Some people make it seem like the product is complicated but it’s very simple. You boot it up and it walks you through setting up wifi. Once you’ve done that it will walk you through creating a Postbox account with Freewrite. It’s simple and easy. Once that’s happened you can begin distraction free writing. Issues Addressed: - my biggest concern is regarding the WIFI. The Freewrite cannot connect to 5G wifi (it won’t even show it as an option to connect) most home Wi-Fi signals have regular/5G so if that’s the case for you then this is not an issue. However when you go out and about to write you may not find a wifi to connect to. - the price… this thing is stupid expensive and I can’t recommend it to hobby writers unless they are loaded. I freelance write for websites, work as a ghostwriter, and have published my own novel. The device is perfect for providing distraction free writing and helping me stay on task while drafting. - The biggest concern I typically see is about the half second delay between typing and letters appearing on the screen. I personally stare at my keyboard like an amateur while I start typing then halfway through a paragraph I glance up to read/quick edit. With that style of writing I don’t notice the type delay. However, if you don’t look down at all while you type this could become a real issue and may ruin the experience. - the Traveler saves your data on the device until it’s deleted. All my drafts have stayed on the device and there is nothing that has been lost. -Postbox is an awesome system. If connected to WIFI it instantly autosaves your drafts to their system. If you connect your postbox account to Google Documents (another easy thing to do) it will also autosave instantly to Google documents. Postbox also has your writing stats to help keep you motivated and see how hard you’ve worked. - some people say the device appears cheaply made and plasticky. In my opinion it looks great and while it feels a bit delicate it doesn’t feel cheap. The device comes with a cleaning wipe that I use more to clean the cover as it is definitely a fingerprint magnet. Overall there are How To Use Freewrite Traveler like a Pro videos on YouTube. Take the time to watch them and you will learn all the neat features the device has to offer. It is near flawless for what it offers and happens to work so well for me.

The traveler is perfect for writing on the go, especially when I'm on a deadline and need a change of venue. The traveler has smooth, buttery keys that are a delight to use. The battery life is fantastic and even with frequent use, I'm charging it only about once per week. Once set up with Wi-Fi, connecting to transfer documents to the cloud (Postbox, Gdrive, Dropbox, etc) is simple and headache free. Honestly, my favorite part is being able to toss it into my purse and take it with me everywhere. Last month we saw Hamilton, and pulled it out during intermission and work on a project. I have multiple Freewrite devices, and all are fantastic, but the traveler is honestly the best for taking on the go. It's lightweight and slim enough to tuck into a bag and the glare free screen makes it perfect for writing by the pool or at the beach.

I love to write, and I find myself struggling when I’m feeling creative. I have a story I’ve already outlined completely and even have written half of. When I want to write, the laptop is too bulky with too much to lug around, and I find I get very distracted. This device does one thing: distraction free drafting. It’s a drafting machine, which means when I’m working on writing something, I write it on this, sync it to Postbox, and edit it later. In that purpose it is exceptional. The machine itself is built well. Yes it feels light, and it is made of mostly plastic, but it’s supposed to. It is made for traveling. It doesn’t need to be anything else. Opening it up, right out of the box, you turn it on, you learn how it works, and you start writing. It was super easy to get started, and I haven’t had any issues with it. For mine, I have had trouble with my Internet connection at times where I live. When that happens, I notice it doesn’t sync right away. All of the troubleshooting I have done has worked, so I’ve always been able to fix it. It is important to understand that this machine is not made to replace a PC. It’s not meant for editing, only for drafting. Editing and proofreading come later. Once you get that you really can’t do any major editing with this thing, it becomes clear how to use it. I love it and am thinking of getting a different model for my desk.

El producto es maravilloso, excelente, fucnional y practico, me encanto. Muchas gracias y felicidades!

Freewrite Traveler riconcilia con il piacere della scrittura. Rende piacevole questa pratica e favorisce l’ispirazione. La tastiera è estremamente comoda e appagante e lo schermo è nitido e non affatica la vista. Uno strumento ben congegnato sia nell’ardware che nel software, fin nei minimi particolari. Un vero gioiellino. Si, è vero che il costo è piuttosto alto, ma vale la pena fare un piccolo sacrificio, perché Traveler diventerà un vero e proprio compagno di vita. Per chi ama scrivere, naturalmente… chi cerca solo un nuovo oggetto da sfoggiare si rivolga altrove. Questa è roba seria!

Depuis autant de temps, je peux dire que la Freewrite est le meilleur outil que j'ai eu entre les mains. Je suis un écrivain compulsif et c'est un vrai plaisir de pouvoir écrire n'importe où n'importe quand. C'est vrai que c'est un investissement, mais le résultat est là. On est bien plus concentré ! C'est un bel objet et plutôt résistant. Passe partout ! Bref, un régal ! Et le bruit des touches est reposant ! Je conseille cet achat.

Es un buen producto y está claro que la productividad debería mejorar cuando no hay posibilidad de edición, pero la barra espaciadora funciona mal y, en muchas ocasiones, o bien salen dos espacios o las palabras acaban juntas (muy a menudo) y ese hecho rompe el ritmo de la escritura. Le doy una oportunidad por la portabilidad, pero no por la productividad.

Cercavo uno strumento del genere da anni, lavoro 9 ore al giorno con il PC e quindi per me era essenziale avere uno strumento senza retroilluminazione e distrazioni per poter scrivere in santa pace e mentalmente staccarmi dall'utilizzo del PC oltre il lavoro. Freewrite traveler è quello che cercavo, leggero e piccolo ed entra perfettamente nella mia borsa. Da quando l'ho acquistato scrivo ogni giorno senza alcuna distrazione e rimanendo coinvolta al 100% nella mia storia. Il prezzo non è economico ma per chi ha la passione della scrittura, ha in cantiere in romanzo o lavora con le parole è favoloso e un ottimo investimento. Unica pecca il fatto che ogni tanto è un po' lento per chi, come me, ha una scrittura alla tastiera fluida e molto veloce.
