Professional tools for today
StyleGuard is designed to meet the modern-day challenges content creators face daily. Accuracy and clarity are paramount, but you also want to keep your brand and voice. StyleGuard brings together all the tools necessary to give you confidence in your writing.
The internet has changed everything. Language is expanding faster than ever, and so are embarrassing online errors that can sabotage your message and your business. Basic spell check just isn’t enough, so Lingofy was developed with input from expert editors and writers around the world to manage the challenges that modern-day content creators face. StyleGuard will check for spelling and usage, but it also allows you to merge your own custom style rules and local proper names with proofing rules from The Associated Press and other trusted style pros.
More than a dictionary
Whether you’re writing a press release or a sports piece, our proofing system allows one-stop access to multiple dictionary and style resources. Now you can feel confident that your content adheres to your preferred spelling and style.
StyleGuard allows you to arrange and customize your proofing experience, from the words and phrases you want checked to the way you check them. Rather than forcing you to conform to a static dictionary built for the masses, we offer multiple language, dictionary and published style resources (e.g. AP, FT, CP and more) that you can mix, match and modify to meet your needs. Our proofing system includes an online interface where you set the rules on style, spelling, capitalization, usage and more including names, multi-word phrases and anything else you can write. Now you can guarantee that copy on any topic adheres to any style or spelling preference and is consistent and error-free. You’ll never have to click “ignore” again.
Work and share in the cloud
StyleGuard’s centralized proofing engine ensures that your content is always proofed against the most up-to-date dictionaries and style guides. StyleGuard’s presence in the cloud allows you to proof on the go, and set and share style rules with multiple users.
Like you, we’re spoiled by life in the cloud. We take our music, movies, games and books everywhere we go. Shouldn’t your editing tools be just as portable? Whether you write in a coffeehouse, a cubicle or an airplane cabin 40,000 feet up, StyleGuard is ready to proof your text. We developed StyleGuard to be agile and accessible because we’re writers and editors, too. We know inspiration can hit anywhere and at any time. In addition to the convenience factor, our server-based system lets you share your style rules and update them on the fly with other StyleGuard users anywhere in the world.
Where you need it
We designed StyleGuard to work with just about any browser-based writing tool, from WordPress to Blogger to the latest platform/trend. We know you probably have a preferred writing tool, and we believe proofing shouldn’t take you away from it. (Writing is challenging enough as it is, right?) Install the StyleGuard extension in any of multiple browser options, and you can start checking copy today. If you prefer offline tools, we offer plug-ins for those, too. We regularly add new platforms and programs based on customer feedback, so please let us know if you have a request. We also recently added the Check Text feature to the StyleGuard Manager at StyleGuard.com. It’s a simple, TinyMCE-based text editor that lets you copy and paste content from offline tools into StyleGuard and proof with your style. It’s yet another workflow option we’ve built into StyleGuard so that no matter what is going on in your world, your copy is polished and presentable.
Consistent writing style
Maintaining a consistent style of writing among employees can be challenging. Whether your employees number 2 or 2000, StyleGuard helps maintain a single voice throughout all communication.
Our interests, communication and messaging have moved online, and our colleagues, partners and employees have become more mobile because of it. We’re working from home, working on the road, and expanding our skill sets. In addition we all have different opinions on writing style and messaging. It’s a good thing for creativity in the abstract, but for an organization it can cause confusion, mistakes and even negative reaction from partners and audiences. StyleGuard allows you to set a wide range of style rules on everything from specialized terminology to greetings. You can easily share those rules with one to 1,000 users, ensuring your company voice is clean, consistent and cohesive, regardless of the writer. Say goodbye to typos and hello to clear communication.
Your virtual proofreader
Let StyleGuard be your virtual proofreader ensuring error-free, consistent content.
You work with words for a living. Maybe you write, maybe you edit, maybe you craft social media messages that attract followers or maybe you are an instructional designer, catalog copywriter or reporter. No matter what you write, or who you write for, you know that a second set of eyes isn’t a luxury for professionals. It’s a requirement. Proofing your own copy on a tight deadline is a surefire way to miss mistakes and damage your reputation. StyleGuard allows you to permanently or temporarily add project-specific terms to your proofing process, ensuring your editing is just as agile as your writing. Create custom style rules by project, topic, customer or content. From spring training baseball blogging to small-business branding, and everything in between, StyleGuard gives you professional style resources and detailed customization to present polished, professional results – from anywhere. Your copy will look like it went through a copy desk and your clients will never know it was just you and StyleGuard.
CMS integration
In addition to supporting proofing in multiple programs and browsers, our developers have crafted an API that will let your tech staff integrate our trusted and tested proofing tools into your favorite content management system.
Obviously, we’re word people here at StyleGuard. We love long discussions about hyphenation, neologisms and grammar – about whether one should use a formal or informal voice when communicating with different audiences. We are fascinated and excited about new words that enter our living lexicon daily via breaking news and pop culture. All of that is reflected in the proofing and customization tools and style options we provide, and update regularly. But we’re also tech people, and we believe StyleGuard is only just getting started on its path to clean up the internet’s copy. In addition to supporting proofing in multiple programs and browsers, our StyleGuard developers have also crafted API documentation that will let your tech staff integrate our trusted and tested proofing tools into your favorite content management system, whether it’s out-of-the-box or proprietary. With StyleGuard, you can proof anywhere in the world and in any program.
