Legal Tech TIPS

1 WriteClearly www.openadvocate.org/writeclearly

Is your website readable? Use Write-Clearly to easily test the reading grade level of a web page with a single click. WriteClearly is a free "bookmarklet" that runs in your web browser. Simply drag-and-drop the bookmarklet to your browser's bookmarks bar. Nothing to install or update, plus it works with the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and Edge on Windows PCs, Macs and Linux. You can run WriteClearly on your Google Docs, too.

If you didn't already know, Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation and slides app that you can carry with you wherever you go. Make a slideshow with music, charts, graphics and photos. Want to use a photo but need to get rid of the background? PowerPoint has an integrated tool for that and more.

6 Mention mention.com

Mention is a free social media and online mention monitoring tool that allows you to trace mentions of up to five keywords or your website domain, among other things. Unlike Sprout Social or Hootsuite, Mention has a free version available (but it has more dynamic paid versions as well).
