WhiteSmoke Releases Its New 2008 Version


WILMINGTON, Delaware, October 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- Streamlined User Interface Improves Most Advanced English Text 
Enhancement Software

Today WhiteSmoke announces the official release of WhiteSmoke
2008, the latest version of their award-winning writing and grammar software.
Focused research and development efforts resulted in significant upgrades
improving this revolutionary online text enhancement tool, which now takes
the user's experience to a whole new dimension. The optimized features for
better usability now dynamically pop-up when needed in a cleaner
state-of-the-art interface.

WhiteSmoke 2008 amends grammar, spelling and punctuation, and
enriches the user's text by suggesting alternative and/or additional wording
- and all this at a fraction of a second and in any application that uses a
text box. Text modifications are based on user input and real English usage,
researched and implemented by a team of natural language processing (NLP)
experts.

Central to WhiteSmoke 2008 is the completely redesigned
graphical user interface (GUI). WhiteSmoke founder and CEO Hilla Ovil-Brenner
explains, "The GUI is now more user-friendly with easier to navigate
drop-down menus and fewer buttons, all in a refreshing cobalt-blue design."
In addition, users are now able to type extra text, at any length, directly
into the WhiteSmoke window for editing.

WhiteSmoke's 2008 version also features an improved Notifier,
which brings the user's attention to grammar and spelling mistakes as they
type. "The user benefits from an on-the-spot pop-up window that alerts the
writer to a mistake and suggests a correction. The user can either correct
the error manually in the application or launch WhiteSmoke for automatic
correction, thus saving valuable editing time," says Liran Brenner,
WhiteSmoke Vice President R&D.

More upgrades resulting from the continual enhancement of the
artificial intelligence algorithms enable more accurate detection and
correction of even more grammar errors. British English spelling and
vocabulary items have also been updated. These join advancements in the
enrichment database providing more suggestions (more synonyms, adjectives and
adverbs). Finally, more entries have been introduced to the dictionary,
thesaurus and idiom database.
