WILMINGTON, Delaware, September 22 /PRNewswire/ --

- Improved Usability, New Style Checking Features, and Updates to
the Grammar Checker Give Users a Complete Writing Solution

WhiteSmoke announces the immediate availability of WhiteSmoke
2009, the latest version of its desktop English writing application.
WhiteSmoke 2009 is the premier writing tool for people who need quality
written text, offering advanced grammar checking, style checking, and spell
checking.

"WhiteSmoke 2009 brings our writing technologies to a new level
of sophistication," claims Hilla Ovil-Brenner, WhiteSmoke CEO. "As a result
of over 6 months of intensive user testing, we have made important changes to
the interface to enhance usability, and incorporated many new algorithms to
address writing style issues. WhiteSmoke 2009 is a mature product for
accurate proofreading and editing, whether you are a blogger, an at-home
writer, or a corporate professional."

New GUI

WhiteSmoke 2009 introduces a new GUI with an improved workflow.
Central to the new design is the presentation of WhiteSmoke's suggestions and
corrections. Replacing the pop-up menus of WhiteSmoke 2008, the user now
receives corrections and suggestions in-line with the text, just like when a
text is edited and proofread manually."Our beta group is very pleased with
this new development, which brings a more organic and 'real life' feel to the
writing and editing experience," notes Liran Brenner, VP R&D at WhiteSmoke .

Style Checker

WhiteSmoke 2009 introduces a new collection of style checking
features. The WhiteSmoke Style Checker includes WhiteSmoke's patented Text
Enrichment, as well as a range of new features that address overall writing
style. Users will be notified of incomplete sentences, use of slang and IM
speak, and informal sentence structures. These additional style checking
features consolidate the WhiteSmoke mission of creating an "all-in-one"
writing tool.

Grammar Checker

WhiteSmoke 2009 introduces new grammar algorithms and updates to
existing algorithms. Key new detections include confusions between countable
and non-countable nouns (much/many, less/fewer), comparative/superlative
mismatches (more nicer, less nicest), and recognition of run-on sentences.
Updates to existing grammar algorithms have further improved the precision of
WhiteSmoke's corrections over a wider variety of possible sentence
constructions.

WhiteSmoke 2009 - An English Writing Tool with Wide Appeal

"WhiteSmoke 2009 represents the next step in the evolution of
software to correct and enhance English writing," states Amit Greener, VP
Marketing at WhiteSmoke. "With WhiteSmoke 2009, anyone who writes in English
has a comprehensive and intuitive tool to aid written communication, a tool
that easily integrates with a user's existing applications and preferred
methods of working."
