    The Writingtable edits any document

    The Writingtable edits any document. Articles, press releases, resumes and cover letters, technical manuals, speeches, ads, sales letters, proposals, legal documents, corporate communications - you name it, The Wringitable can help edit it.

    3Keys

    TheWritingtable has three main key to edit as shown:

    1. The Writing Style - an overall score of the clarity of your style.

    2. The Average Sentence Length - an important readability measure.

    3.The Passive Index - a measure of the most common writing problem.

    Fine-tunes your document:

    An articles needs to be clear , short and brisk, avoid abstract words, over-complex phrases, confused and misused words (a far more common problem than poor grammar) and the bare minimum of self-evident grammatical errors.Good writing contains good sentence variety and a readable average sentence length between 15 to 20 words for space-saving, above all reader friendly.

    An advertisement needs to have a punchy, direct writing style; a manual needs to be clear and simple; a report can carry more complex ideas. If one writes nonsense, The Wrttingtable will show you how to write clear, concise and readable "nonsense."

    The best writing scores under 20-20-20 for Writing Style, Average Sentence Length and Passive Index. Few passive verbs and the occasional complex or abstract word will cause readers little difficulty.

    Every documents are read carefully under a hawks eye, to detect the following and eliminate:

    Complex words, Overused words, Jargon/Abstractwords,WordyPharses,Passive Verbs,Confused hypens,Clichẻs, Long Sentences, Sentence Variety, Misused Words,Preferred Spelling, Common Grammar Errors, Writing Slips,

    Hyphenation and Miscellaneous.

    Look at this example. Changing the passive verbs (shown in bold) into active verbs (shown in italics) saves 11 per cent of the words.

    Before Editing:
