9 Free Online Tools for Learning, Writing, and PDF Editing




More more you read, the more you know. Dr. Seuss quote.

Who doesn't love a free tool that gets the job done without a lot of fanfare? I know I do. These random gems find their way to my "check these out someday" list. As I was flipping through this list yesterday, I found a few that you might enjoy too. All are free with no annoying short trial and then buy offers. And there's nothing in this for me other than the chance to share them with you. Here you go.

    I had to laugh at the MPInet logo. If you've been in Orlando for a long time, you'll remember their vehicle careening around town with the shooting flame perched on the roof. I always thought it looked more like a blazing chicken.

    7. Describing Words

    This was an unexpected result that I might have to think about. I'll let you decide.

    Noun: technology

    Adjective #1: clearly alien
