StyleWriter is used by 1000s of English-speaking individuals around the globe. In addition, it is widely used by corporations, government agencies, schools, school systems, and non-profit organizations. Let's look more closely at its corporate applications now... Most business and government documents are long-winded, bureaucratic and dull. They are often confusing and difficult to understand at the first reading. Any organization can now turn this around by adopting plain English and putting it into practice at every level. The result will be huge savings in administration and staff time, better customer relations, higher sales and better profits. With StyleWriter, your organization can now gain the remarkable benefits of plain English while cutting down significantly on the paperwork and saving millions of dollars in administration. CHOOSE THE WINNING SOFTWARE SOLUTION Councils, government departments, finance companies and large corporations use StyleWriter to improve communication. Some use it to improve customer relations, others want to improve administration and save costs. Every organization we work with wants to adopt a clear English style and reap the rewards. In many instances, organizations have taken a three-pronged approach to using StyleWriter, choosing to use it in conjunction with two other software programs that supplement StyleWriter (and which we can also provide). These software solutions have helped organizations change the corporate culture and write in plain English. And the advantages have been considerable.
STYLEWRITER StyleWriter is the key to changing the writing style in your organization. Recommended by the Plain Language Commission and used by corporations and non-profit organizations around the globe as well as government agencies (see some case studies), StyleWriter sits in the word processor’s toolbar. Clicking the StyleWriter icon checks your document for thousands of writing faults, so common in business writing. Simple editing usually cuts 25 percent of the wordy style, resulting in a clear, concise and readable document. StyleWriter solves the age-old problem of improving business and government communication by putting plain English into practice in every document. With large discounts for site licenses, StyleWriter is an affordable solution to a problem that costs your organization time and money. (See Site Licenses/Quantity Discounts). Check out the description, features/screenshots, examples, and case studies! THE ELECTRONIC WRITING COURSE In large organizations, training people in effective writing skills has always been difficult, time-consuming and costly. The Electronic Writing Course solves these problems and gives you an affordable solution to training staff, quickly and thoroughly. Our Course, based on writing samples from your own organization, lets everyone gain the same expert training. You can budget and plan the rollout of training and train everyone in a few weeks. By using Windows help screens, the software is simple to use, stays on everyone’s PC and is easily adapted if you want to change the content or add new sections. ![]() Because the Course does not need tutors, supervisors, rooms booked, course materials and so on, the costs to train each person is about one-tenth of a conventional one-day writing course.

ELECTRONIC HOUSE STYLE The spell-check in your word processor is a useful tool to pick up typing errors and spelling mistakes. But a spell-check can miss many errors, especially inconsistency of product names, dates and so on. Does your house style recommend 23 June, June 23, 23rd June or June 23rd? Does your house style prefer Washington D.C. or Washington DC? Do you want to use a house style to discourage people from using industry jargon by recommending replacing encash with cash in or replacing system performance indicators with performance targets? We can code StyleWriter to check thousands of your house-style rules to help every employee write consistently and accurately. Here’s just one example. A finance company had a product called: Low-cost Homebuyers’ Plan. The correct form needed a capital letter in three places, lowercase for the other letters, a hyphen and an apostrophe in the correct position. Staff wrote the phrase many ways and each time StyleWriter found the mistake and suggested the correct form.
