WILMINGTON, Delaware, September 15 /PRNewswire/ --

- Major Update to Software for Editing and Enhancing English Writing

WhiteSmoke announces the immediate availability of WhiteSmoke Writer 
2010, the upgrade from WhiteSmoke 2009. The launch of WhiteSmoke Writer is 
accompanied by a huge competition, with a round-the-world plane ticket for 
the winner.

WhiteSmoke Writer 2010 is a complete software solution for editing and
enhancing English texts. Features include a grammar checker, writing style
checker, writing review, dictionary-thesaurus, and more. This release
introduces a name change ("Writer") in preparation for a number of new
software solutions for language and writing from WhiteSmoke. A major new
feature, Writing Review, is introduced, as well as a number of updates and
fixes.

New Features and Enhancements

Writing Review

The major new feature introduced in this release is Writing Review. Liran
Brenner, VP of R&D at WhiteSmoke, explains, "Writing Review is a new way of
getting feedback from WhiteSmoke about the quality of your text. Working
alongside WhiteSmoke Writer's grammar, spelling, and style suggestions,
Writing Review gives an analysis of other text-wide factors, such as passive
verb frequency, average sentence length, complex word use, and more. Based on
these factors and grammar, spelling, and style issues, the text is given an
overall score."

Revamped GUI

WhiteSmoke Writer features a complete revamp of the GUI, with several
workflow improvements. It is now easier than ever to check your writing with
WhiteSmoke Writer, and return the corrected text back to the original
application you are working in.

Other Enhancements and Fixes

The application now features faster performance and all-round
improvements to the precision of the checking algorithms. Improvements have
been made for better compatibility with Word Perfect and Open Office, as well
as with all 64 bit versions of Windows operating systems.

"After several years of increasing our user base and enhancing our text
analysis technologies, we are in a strong, market-leading position with
WhiteSmoke Writer, and this latest release consolidates this. With these
latest features and enhancements, WhiteSmoke Writer users have the best tool
available to edit and enhance their English writing," claims Amit Greener, VP
of Marketing at WhiteSmoke.
