Reference Software announced it will ship in December a grammar
checker that uses artificial intelligence techniques and a rule
dictionary to identify writing errors and suggest improvements
to your document. Called Grammatik Mac, the program can
proofread files created in Word, MacWrite II, Write Now,
WordPerfect, and other word processors for the Macintosh.
 
After Grammatik Mac proofreads your document, it displays
summary stats that show what reading level is required to
understand the document. It uses the Fleisch-Kincaid Index and
Gunning's Fog Index to arrive at these analyses. You can also
choose from six writing styles when Grammatik Mac proofs the
document: business, technical, general, fiction, informal, and
custom.
 
Grammatik Mac run on the Mac Plus or higher.
 
Price: $99.
