Herraiz Soto, an independent creative agency, has launched Ommwriter, a new word processor with a "Zen-like meditative focus." The software offers a choice of ambient music themes that play in the background, along with a variety of keyboard audio-feedback themes designed to make typing a pleasant experience. The software works within one window, with drag-over activated menus to the right of the workspace.

Fonts and formatting can be adjusted from the menus, as can the ambient audio and typing sounds. Different background pictures are also available from the menus.

The new word processor is being introduced as a beta, working with Mac OS X 10.5 or higher and recommended for use with Intel processors. The download is free, with an e-mail address required to enroll in the beta program.
