Tensetti Plain Language Checker is a web tool for finding clarity issues in technical documents. The product description calls it ClearSpec and lists 22 checks covering action clarity, sentence structure, terminology, safety language and consistency. The maker says the rules are deterministic, so identical inputs produce the same output. The free checker analyzes pasted text locally in the browser using a Web Worker; it says text is not sent to the server, analytics or logs. Free use needs no account, accepts up to 1,000 words and displays the first ten findings. The checker reports findings and editing actions, but does not rewrite text or determine whether safety content is safe. Pro costs 120.00 EUR per year and adds larger local documents, all findings, local TXT, Markdown and DOCX opening, a personal termbase, and PDF and CSV report export. DOCX parsing does not interpret layout, images, tables or cross-references. Team costs 349.00 EUR per year and adds five users, a shared termbase and style profile, approved exceptions, batch queue and review history. The product is not an ASD-STE100 checker or certification service and does not certify ISO 24495-1 conformance.
Who it is for
The checker may suit people reviewing technical documents for clarity issues. The free tier is aimed at shorter pasted texts; Pro and Team add local file handling and collaboration features.
