MAXit Checker

Customer comment MAXit is a grammar checker on steroids.	What is the MAXit Checker? The MAXit Checker is a software tool that monitors technical texts for compliance to Controlled English or ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English. The program uses 9,500+ rules and artificial intelligence to check texts for grammar, syntax, style, clarity, consistency and global market acceptance. MAXit marks the possible errors with color-coded messages, interactive suggestions, synonyms and corrections. MAXit and Controlled English are ideal tools to write documentation for global users.	How the MAXit Checker works The MAXit Checker is integrated into most technical writing tools. The writer selects a paragraph, element, selection , page or document for analysis. The MAXit grammar engine inserts color-coded messages to show the corrections and suggestions. Click on the Animated Demo to see the types of errors and linguistic analysis. Other key features are custom dictionaries, readability scores, six sigma metrics, temporary dictionary, new terminology reports for the Lexicon Manager and customization of the rules. Other grammar checkers do not offer these features.
