How Lise Lingo uses Perfectlt to accelerate mechanical copyedits, freeing up time for substantive edits
Company overview
Lise Lingo is a professional editor based in Washington, D.C. She's a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association who specializes in quickly turning around edits that hone a document's message while retaining the client's voice.
The documents she edits typically contain material written by several people, often drawing on boilerplate language from older documents written for other purposes. Her corporate clients have specific style preferences, but the documents they send her often fail to stick to them.
The challenge
Turn around demanding edits under tight deadlines for clients who often don't follow their own style preferences.
“
By automating checks for mechanical inconsistencies, Perfectlt gives me more time to spend on the substantive edits that make a document shine.

The solution
Use Perfectlt to accelerate mechanical copyedits that ensure consistency, freeing up critical time to focus on substantive edits.

Perfectlt identifies inconsistencies in terminology, capitalization, and hyphenation and allows Lise to revise them appropriately in context.
Perfectlt generates lists of abbreviations that pinpoint duplicate and missing definitions in far less time than Lise would spend on a manual search.
Perfectlt applies style sheets that are customized for each client, enabling Lise to ensure that each document adheres to the client's preferences.
