I haven't seen or heard of it for years and not sure if the developers are still in business. Perhaps someone else may be able to shed more light on that. I have a site bookmarked that may be of some help. It is http://www.editorsoftware.com/ The product is StyleWriter - the Plain English Editor I haven't used this product but it sounds like it may be close to what you're looking for. Robert Robert M.

I received a phone call from the nephrology unit of the local hospital. The staff there lost their only copy of this software package and called me to see if I knew where it came from so that they could replace it. Alternatively, they wondered if there was a similar software available. My contact has not used it herself, but she says that her colleagues type in a piece of text and the software highlights text that is incorrect or questionable. I believe it also suggests alternative wording, but I am not sure. Does anyone know about this or other similar software?
