Hello all,
One of the technical writers in this forum e-mailed me the product WhiteSmoke that can be used for text enrichment.
You can get more details at www.whitesmoke.com
What do you think about it ?
Thanks,
Erez Perlmutter

Such a tool must exist because I keep getting stuff like your example. The
only thing wrong with "I am happy with your performance" is that it's not
more specific about the performance. I'd prefer, "I am happy with your
operation that saved my life," or "I am happy with your ideas for saving
your department money." "Bloating" and "enrichment" aren't synonymous.

Hello,
Are you familiar with a software tool that can enrich the text and wording
of an existing English document so they will look more text-wise
professional ?
For example to change “I am happy with your performance” may be upgraded
to: “I am completely thrilled with your outstanding achievement,”
