September 23, 2008
mproved usability, new style checking features, and updates to the grammar checker give users a complete writing solution
White Smoke, Inc. – Wilmington, DE. September 22nd 2008 - White Smoke announces the immediate availability of White Smoke 2009, the latest version of its desktop English writing application. White Smoke 2009 is the premier writing tool for people who need quality written text, offering advanced grammar checking, style checking, and spell checking, based on natural language processing (NLP) technology. These core features are supplemented by English lessons, a comprehensive dictionary-thesaurus, and a range of document templates. The White Smoke 2009 release makes the White Smoke desktop application an even more essential tool for computer-based writing tasks on a PC.
“White Smoke 2009 brings our writing technologies to a new level of sophistication,” claims Hilla Ovil-Brenner, White Smoke CEO. “As a result of over 6 months of intensive user testing, we have made important changes to the interface to enhance usability, and incorporated many new algorithms to address writing style issues. White Smoke 2009 is a mature product for accurate proofreading and editing, whether you are a blogger, an at-home writer, or a corporate professional.”
New GUI
White Smoke 2009 introduces a new GUI with an improved workflow. Central to the new design is the presentation of White Smoke’s suggestions and corrections. Replacing the pop-up menus of White Smoke 2008, the user now receives corrections and suggestions in-line with the text, just like when a text is edited and proofread manually.”Our beta group is very pleased with this new development, which brings a more organic and ‘real-life’ feel to the writing and editing experience,” notes Liran Brenner, VP R&D at White Smoke. Other changes include the placement of the additional writing tools (English Lessons, Templates, and the Dictionary) above the text area, and more intuitive placement of the “Check” and “Apply” buttons.
Style Checker
White Smoke 2009 introduces a new collection of style checking features. The White Smoke Style Checker includes White Smoke’s patented Text Enrichment, a unique technology that has established White Smoke in a field apart from competitors, as well as a range of new features that address overall writing style. Users will be notified of incomplete sentences, use of slang and IM speak, and informal sentence structures. These additional style checking features make White Smoke 2009 a great leap forward from previous versions of White Smoke, and consolidate the White Smoke mission of creating an “all-in-one” writing tool.
Grammar Checker
White Smoke 2009 introduces new grammar algorithms and updates to existing algorithms. Key new detections include confusions between countable and non-countable nouns (much/many, less/fewer), comparative/superlative mismatches (more nicer, less nicest), and recognition of run-on sentences. Updates to existing grammar algorithms have further improved the precision of White Smoke’s corrections over a wider variety of possible sentence constructions.
White Smoke 2009 – An English Writing Tool with Wide Appeal
“For corporate professionals seeking to project the right image with quality writing, through to bloggers, creative writers and tens of thousands of at-home users, White Smoke 2009 represents the next step in the evolution of software to correct and enhance English writing,” states Amit Greener, VP Marketing at White Smoke. “With White Smoke 2009, anyone who writes in English has a comprehensive and intuitive tool to aid written communication, a tool that easily integrates with a user’s existing applications and preferred methods of working.”
