One hundred times more useful than the standard grammar checker in your word processor.
Let's face it, we all know how poor grammar checkers are at improving writing. They assume you cannot write a sentence and constantly flag correct English as bad grammar. In a test of sentences with 25 grammatical errors, respondents spotted between 20 and 25 of the errors when they read the sentences. When Microsoft Word's grammar checker went through the same examples, it only spotted 6 out of the 25 errors.
More accurate than your grammar checker
StyleWriter is not a grammar checker. Grammar checkers try to show you how to write a correct sentence by analyzing each word for its part of speech and then only accepting sentences if the parts of speech are in the right order. StyleWriter does not parse the sentence but looks for the poor style habits that you can change to improve the quality of writing.
You will improve your grammar if you write clearly and concisely, using shorter sentences and active verbs. StyleWriter constantly encourages you to adopt this clear style and forces you to read your work. Thus, many grammar mistakes in your writing will disappear as you rework your original text.
In this document, Microsoft Word does not find any errors or make any editing suggestions. StyleWriter offers spelling, proofreading and editing advice on 33 words, phrases or sentences to produce a redraft that is 23 percent shorter.
"StyleWriter acts as a professional editor for anyone who needs to write reports, proposals or press releases. For writing punchy, effective, communicative text, even with your own whimsical style, look no further."

"I sent my first book to Random House. They told me it was the first draft they had ever received that didn't need editing. I'm afraid I didn't tell them I'd used StyleWriter."
Author of text books
"Like having the Chicago Manual of Style at your fingertips... StyleWriter is undoubtedly useful for anyone who writes. It takes the hard slog out of editing, and draws your attention to stylistic faults you probably didn't know you had."

"Editors charge about $50 to polish writing. Yet StyleWriter does 80 per cent of the editor's work. I reckon I've saved the cost of the program by running it through just a few articles."

"The most useful program of the year."
Times Educational Supplement"I love StyleWriter. I am a life-long journalist who spent most of his career as an award-winning reporter on daily newspapers from California to Florida. I spent 14 years on the copy desk of one of America's biggest dailies. StyleWriter gives me an extra set of eyes and offers a backup to my own editing.
To be honest, I initially had qualms about recommending a software program that theoretically could take business away from me. But as I've used it, I see how dependent it is on interaction from the user. It guides you rather than does the editing for you.
