WhiteSmoke 2009 - A New Page in Writing Technology


WILMINGTON, Delaware, October 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- User Community Drives English Writing Software's Artificial
Intelligence Algorithms

The recent release of WhiteSmoke 2009 represented a new page in
the development of WhiteSmoke's writing technologies. After several years of
solid research and development on the promising idea of an intelligent
writing tool for correcting and enhancing a user's text, WhiteSmoke 2009
fully delivers. Featuring a grammar checking engine that detects a wider
range of errors than any other commercial grammar checker, and a range of
other tools to create an all-in-one writing solution, WhiteSmoke 2009 is the
ideal software application for writers, copy editors and at-home Internet
users who are concerned with creating error-free texts.

Community is the Key

"The real secret behind WhiteSmoke's technologies is our user
base. Our users give us constant feedback, and a very wide variety of texts
for analysis - without this interaction, our algorithms would not be so
advanced," states Liran Brenner, VP R&D at WhiteSmoke. "Our users make a
passionate community, and have stuck with the product throughout its
development due to the great potential it brings to written communications.
WhiteSmoke's writing technologies level the playing field, allowing English
as a Second Language speakers, and those of us who simply need a good editor
for our writing, to confidently write error-free texts."

The Fruition of a Great Idea

WhiteSmoke writing technologies are based on natural language
processing (NLP) technology. The program works by analyzing an entire
sentence, understanding the structure, and making corrections and suggestions
based on a combination of grammar rules and complex statistical models. This
approach is unique, and was a factor in leading Business 2.0 to include
WhiteSmoke as one of its "31 Best Business Ideas in the World" of 2006. The
latest release, WhiteSmoke 2009, is the complete fruition of the WhiteSmoke
idea - an intelligent and dynamic tool for writers; a tool that works
alongside any text-based application.

A Writing Tool for Everyone

Hilla Ovil-Brenner, WhiteSmoke CEO, says, "I am proud to say that
WhiteSmoke 2009 is a very mature product for professional writers, and for
people who just want to write correct English in their emails and instant
messages. Now that we have launched WhiteSmoke 2009 with its advanced grammar
checking and style checking features, we hope to reach out to a wider
audience, especially writing and copy editing professionals, and writers of
English as a Second Language. The new Hi-Tech Writing profile is also aimed
at high tech and IT professionals, another niche that needs professional text
editing and enhancement. We at WhiteSmoke truly hope to revolutionize written
online communications by bringing quality English to everyone."
