An Intelligent and Semantics-Aware Distraction-Free Writing System

Distractions have become an increasingly prevalent part of everyday life. These distractions, such as video games, social media, and streaming video services have a negative impact on productivity. Authors frequently suffer writers block due to an inability to focus. For this reason, distraction-free word processors have become quite popular. However, most of them have limited functionality and do not seek to eliminate many of the common distractions writers face. In this paper, we will discuss the semantics of good writing habits and present a custom designed writing system aimed at keeping the user on task. To encourage focus on a proper writing process, the software will have a required full screen display and limited text formatting options. Furthermore, the user will be able to take advantage of aids that encourage correct writing behavior.
