Editor Software

Editor Software makes StyleWriter 4, a copy-editing tool that runs alongside Microsoft Word's own grammar and spelling checker. It is based in the United Kingdom and is aimed at writers, editors and organisations wanting more consistent documents.

What Editor Software offers

• Jargon checker — flags jargon so a document reads in plainer language.
• Spellchecker — designed to catch inconsistencies that standard spellcheckers miss.
• Writing statistics — ratings and figures that assess a document's style and readability.
• Custom style rules — settings so a user or organisation can check text against its own house style.
• Country editions — American, British and Australian editions, so a user can switch between them for country-specific usage advice.

Who it works with

The tool is aimed at individual writers and editors, and at organisations that want a team following one consistent style guide across their documents.
