Word processing integration for iOS

What solutions exist for integrating Zotero in a word processor on iOS? I am WP agnostic. I'd just like to be able to take advantage of Z. Fully when writing. Thanks.
  • given that there isn't even Zotero for iOS (just the website and some 3rd party apps), I don't think there's anything. I'm certainly not aware of any options, not would the API in its current state allow for much.
  • You could do a two-step process with the Zotero website and any number of WP apps using the RTF/ODF Scan plugin.

    On the iPad, you can use any WP app that can export to .odf (e.g., Scrivener) to write your paper and insert citation placeholders using Scannable Cites exported from the zotero.org mobile site (see here: http://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/).

    Then, once you are back at your computer, you can using the Zotero RTF/ODF Scan plugin to convert the placeholders to live Zotero citations.


    (You could also use any app that can export to .docx, then use Word or LibreOffice on your computer to convert the file to .odf, then proceed as above.)
  • Is there a simple way to copy/paste references from a zoetrope library into a word processor? I'm using Word for IOS at the moment, and would be perfectly happy writing with it on the go if I could at least do the above. But none of the 3rd-party zotero iOS applications seem to allow this basic function.
  • Hi bewirenik

    I can't seem to generate scannable cites from my iPad when using zotero.org for mobile. Please illustrate with pictures examples.

  • Did you see the part on "From the Zotero Website" here? http://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/
    on iOS, you can google how to install and use bookmarklets to get instructions with images/video.
