TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If English is not your first language, or if you struggle with English, StyleWriter probably does a better job of producing clear writing than many more expensive tools. It is highly configurable and easy to use. The simplified technical English tools I've used or tested are generally too complex or too expensive for general use.
Cheers!
