I am looking for an accessible way to edit Microsoft Word and other documents such as txt ones on my iPhone that I have stored on my OneDrive and Dropbox.

Note that I do not have a subscription to 365. I just have the Office Suite.

Damn, voice dream writer is not available in the Italian app store and don't know why...
For other apps: I often use Drafts app, it's quite simple and even has a lot of actions, especially the pro version -subscription-. Honestly I have tried to use Word, for OneDrive files, but it has some issues with bluetooth keyboard - shift+arrow keys with related commands to select text do not work properly in Ms Word, then, another interesting tip is that if you save txt files in Dropbox you can edit them from the dropbox app itself
it's a very basic editor but it works
I am an author, so, my workflow is as follows:
iPad mini 6gen is my main notetaker
- input braille screen 8dots
- split view with Drafts and WordPress
- writing in Markdown in Drafts
- use the action "copy" on Drafts, to copy all the text in clipboard
- move my right hand to the right half of the screen to WordPress, open the editor and paste...
Then save the draft and do all the job of optimization and stuff. But, well, I am also searching for a more stable solution, more immediate.
