StyleWriter – the plain English editor

Clarify documents and save money by using StyleWriter, the leading program in its field. Far better than inbuilt grammar-checkers, the program catches 35,000 style and usage problems missed by common spell-checkers. It flags complex and abstract words, wordy phrases, clichés, misused words, faulty word division and bad hyphenation. This British-authored program is widely used by the US federal government.

StyleWriter assumes you know how to write a sentence and doesn’t give advice you can’t understand or flag correct English as dubious. With full-screen editing and all its advice displayed, the program is easy and quick to use as an add-on to MS Word.

You can have the full program on a 14-day money-back trial basis.

Single-user licence costs £104 + VAT, or £110 + VAT with a CD.
