Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the software, Right
Writer, (I may be spelling the name incorrectly, as I have not used
it myself). 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?

Thanks

Kathy
