PerfectIt 4.1 gives you the tools to help colleagues improve their writing.

No one knows documents at your company the way the editing team does. But most companies produce more text than editors can check. Generic spelling and grammar checkers won’t help.

So imagine if your editing team could configure a tool to just find the mistakes that matter most at your company.

That’s why in PerfectIt 4.1, we’re giving editors complete control of its checking. Read more at: https://intelligentediting.com/blog/p...

When an editor uses PerfectIt, it finds the same issues it always has. But when an editor configures PerfectIt for colleagues, you can use it to:

• Correct the presentation of your company name, branded products and important customer names.

• Avoid language that could be picked up on social media, annoy staff or offend your audience.

• Identify jargon in technical, medical or legal writing, and suggest terms that will be easier to understand.

• Find acronyms and their definitions.

• Correct common mistakes and help colleagues produce their best written work.

Here’s how the new features work.

First, create a PerfectIt style and add a logo. That logo won’t help checking! But it shows colleagues that this product is designed for them by the editing team.

Build in your preferences. This is the same as PerfectIt 4. So you can search for ‘fireman’. PerfectIt will suggest ‘firefighter’. And you can give instructional advice too.

The new “Checks to Include” feature controls which check PerfectIt runs, and which part of a check PerfectIt runs. You can tell PerfectIt to check for house style of hyphenation, but skip more complex consistency issues. You can turn off checks that colleagues won’t need. And you can make sure the advice in your house style is there for users when they need it most.

As the standard of writing improves, editors can focus on what editors do best: crafting the company’s most important communications. The result is better writing, better editing and better documents.

And it’s inexpensive. Just $70 per user per year with discounts for bulk purchases.

If you have a PerfectIt subscription, all these new features are included. You can simply upgrade now. And if you’ve never used PerfectIt, there’s a free trial.
