WhiteSmoke Writer 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.

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 work-flow 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.
