WhiteSmoke Launches WhiteSmoke Writer 2010

WILMINGTON, Delaware -

- Major Update to Software for Editing and Enhancing English Writing

WhiteSmoke announces the immediate availability of WhiteSmoke Writer 2010, the upgrade from WhiteSmoke 2009. The launch of WhiteSmoke Writer is accompanied by a huge competition, with a round-the-world plane ticket for the winner.

WhiteSmoke Writer 2010 is a complete software solution for editing and enhancing English texts. Features include a grammar checker, writing style checker, writing review, dictionary-thesaurus, and more. This release introduces a name change (”Writer”) in preparation for a number of new software solutions for language and writing from WhiteSmoke. A major new feature, Writing Review, is introduced, as well as a number of updates and fixes.

New Features and Enhancements

Writing Review

The major new feature introduced in this release is Writing Review. Liran Brenner, VP of R&D at WhiteSmoke, explains, “Writing Review is a new way of getting feedback from WhiteSmoke about the quality of your text. Working alongside WhiteSmoke Writer’s grammar, spelling, and style suggestions, Writing Review gives an analysis of other text-wide factors, such as passive verb frequency, average sentence length, complex word use, and more. Based on these factors and grammar, spelling, and style issues, the text is given an overall score.”

Revamped GUI

WhiteSmoke Writer features a complete revamp of the GUI, with several workflow improvements. It is now easier than ever to check your writing with WhiteSmoke Writer, and return the corrected text back to the original application you are working in.

Other Enhancements and Fixes

The application now features faster performance and all-round improvements to the precision of the checking algorithms. Improvements have been made for better compatibility with Word Perfect and Open Office, as well as with all 64 bit versions of Windows operating systems.

“After several years of increasing our user base and enhancing our text analysis technologies, we are in a strong, market-leading position with WhiteSmoke Writer, and this latest release consolidates this. With these latest features and enhancements, WhiteSmoke Writer users have the best tool available to edit and enhance their English writing,” claims Amit Greener, VP of Marketing at WhiteSmoke.
