Test 4 Mac-friendliness

How well does each suite integrate?

Unsurprisingly, iWork is macOS through and through, giving you direct access to the media browser and font dialogs alongside their sidebar-based equivalents. It has long supported text-to-speech and speech-to-text natively, and it’s fully iCloud-ready. The other suites are a little way behind. Word has only adopted integrated text-to-speech in the last couple of months, and the function requires an add-on for LibreOffice. Google Docs doesn’t have it, but you can use macOS’s speech tool to read directly from the browser if you’re editing using Safari.

Microsoft Office has an uncomfortable disconnect between the native dialog for saving to OneDrive and the Finder dialog that pops up when you want to save locally, but at least it looks smart, whereas LibreOffice’s overall interface needs a refresh. Google and LibreOffice both use Finder dialogs for picking images, rather than the media browser.
