Business writing is one of several
important skills in corporate career.
Any
mistake in your business writing can
be embarrassing to your organization
and damaging to your career.
Fortunately, writing enhancement
software can help you turn your
vague statement into effective and
eloquent communication.
Not only can writing
enhancement software correct common
grammar and syntax mistakes, but it
can also provide informative,
relevant editorial comments.
How often have you found mistakes soon
after you sent out the email or
letter? Most
people are simply too busy to proof
read their own email. Many people
quickly check it
but have not caught the mistakes.
Despite the free spelling and
grammar checkers that come with most
word processing software, 60% of all
business correspondence still gets
sent containing one or more grammar
or spelling errors. Many of
the errors can be traced to free
word processing checkers that do not
perform context-based text
modifications.
Writing enhancement software can
proof read your writing and suggest
correction much faster than human
can, and so it can increase your
efficiency and productivity, even if
you have no problem writing at all.
A good writing
enhancement software includes
comprehensive spelling and grammar
checks that go beyond what word
processor such as Word can offer for
commonly misused words, passive
verbs, overused words, homonyms,
syntax, wordy phrases, and
more. It also offers relevant
feedback with explanations that
consider the entire meaning of a
sentence or selection and offers
possible corrections. It is even
better if it offers good reference
materials such as a grammar guide,
dictionary and thesaurus.
One software I am currently
evaluated is
WhiteSmoke, an excellent writing
enhancement tool that helps business
writers by searching for grammar and
spelling errors. It offers a
list of alternative word or phrases choices to
enrich your writing.
WhiteSmoke has a large selection of
suggestions that consists of enrichment
corrections, grammar corrections and
spelling corrections. It can check for
spelling and grammar errors,
punctuation, passive verbs, overused
words and wordy phrases. The built in
dictionary and thesaurus helps you
choose applicable and effective words.

Text enrichment
is what WhiteSmoke
delivers. It
takes your text
and suggests
alternative
words, and
appropriate
adjectives you
could insert.
The aim is to
brighten up what
you write.
It does this by
analyzing the
spelling,
punctuation and
grammar in any
document, and
then suggesting
corrections and
possible
improvements.
WhiteSmoke works
with most word
processing
software,
including
Microsoft Word,
WordPerfect,
Outlook and
more. It will
also work with
almost any
text-based
application,
even web-based
forms.
WhiteSmoke is
very easy to
use. Once
installed on
your PC, you can
simply forget
about it until
you need it to
correct and
improve your
writing. Select
the text you
want to analyze
by highlighting
the text, and
press F2, or
alternatively
click on
Enrichment
button which is
created on the
toolbar on
Microsoft Word.
WhiteSmoke will
open in a new
window, with
your selected
text in a box in
the middle.
Spelling
mistakes are
highlighted in
red color and
grammar mistakes
in green color.
When you move
the cursor over
any of these
items, suggested
corrections will
appear in a box
at the foot of
the screen. You
can accept or
reject any
correction just
by clicking on
it. WhiteSmoke
also analyzes
your writing and
looks for ways
it could be
improved, such
as suggesting to
use an alternate
word or phrase,
or by adding
extra words. All
candidates for
enrichment are
highlighted in
blue color in
the WhiteSmoke
window, and
suggested
additions and
alternatives are
shown in the
boxes below.
Obviously not
all the changes
the software
suggests will be
appropriate, but
simply seeing
the suggested
alternatives can
jolt you out of
using the same
old words and
expressions, and
give your
writing a new,
fresher feel. It
is you who make
the final
adjustment and
decide whether
to accept it or
leave it alone.
Once you have
gone through all
the suggestions,
just save the
changes and
close WhiteSmoke,
and the
corrected and
"enriched"
version will
automatically
appear in the
original
document. It is
that simple and
fast.
While Microsoft
Word comes with
its own spelling
and grammar
checkers,
WhiteSmoke makes
writing
enhancement much
better and
easier. This is
especially so
with the grammar
checker, which
is far more
better than
Word's. The
"Enrichment"
function is
particularly
good for
revealing ways
in which text
can be improved.
The version of
WhiteSmoke I
evaluated is the
Executive
Writing edition,
which is the
most
comprehensive
WhiteSmoke
version for
corporations,
business
professionals
and professional
writers. It
provides the
most advanced
grammar and
spelling engine
on the market,
as well as the
full suite of
WhiteSmoke's
text enrichment
suggestions.
WhiteSmoke also
offers several
versions of the
software
specially
tailored for
difference
writing
environments.
They are legal
writing,
creative
writing, medical
writing,
business
writing, and
general writing.
WhiteSmoke
program's
database is
constantly
updated, and so
it is better to
use WhiteSmoke
while you are
online.
Even you are
confident in
grammar,
spelling,
punctuation,
word definition,
thesaurus, and
all other
writing skills, WhiteSmoke
can give you a
fresh
perspective, and
suggestions for
improving
passages of text
you may have
bogged down on.
Computer can
proof read your
writing much
faster than
human can, as
well, it is more
consistent than
a human.
Computer based
writing
enhancement
software does
not just improve
productivity on
writing business
letters, emails,
and reports, but
saves valuable
time. It free
up your time to
focus your
limited time on
creating great
content.
WhiteSmoke is a
great companion
for anyone who
write at work,
especially those
who are looking
for their own
personal English
editor.
