What StyleWriter is

StyleWriter is a Windows desktop manuscript editor and English grammar and style checker that integrates with Microsoft Word. It identifies complex and abstract words, jargon, wordy phrases, hidden and passive verbs, clichés, and long sentences, then offers sentence-editing advice. Its tools cover style checking, jargon, readability, sentence editing, proofreading, and personal check creation. Readability reports include scores and ratings by audience and writing task, plus sentence and style statistics. You can add your own proofreading and editing checks. USA, U.K., and Australian language versions are included. StyleWriter installs on your computer, and its editing features work without an internet connection. The maker says StyleWriter 4 does not copy documents or access the internet. It works with current Windows and Word editions, but not natively on Apple Mac. For other programs, copy text to the clipboard and make edits manually. A 14-day trial is available. Paid editions start at $90 a month.
