Tansa Text Proofing

Escenic Content Studio is now fully integrated with the advanced text proofing tools from Tansa Systems.

capable of checking not only the spelling of words, but also the usage of words and the style of your writing

The new "Tansa" menu in Content Studio provides access to the Tansa server-based spelling and hyphenation tools, which are available for several languages.

Unlike any other spelling tool you've ever worked with, Tansa proofreads your content by looking at the words in context, making it capable of checking not only the spelling of words, but also the usage of words and the style of your writing. Tansa accomplishes this by checking your written text against a dictionary and set of style rules customized specifically for each publication.

Tansa supplies custom dictionaries to all of its customers, built by combining the chosen base language dictionary of the customer (such as American English) with a localized set of words and phrases. The list of local words and phrases is compiled by analyzing at least 12 months worth of the customer's published text. Additionally, any special local style rules the customer uses are integrated and thus the client is provided with a custom dictionary that already includes many of their local names and technical terms.

As part of the solution that Tansa Systems provides, these dictionaries are updated several times a year, based on the customer's system log files. These log files provide a great deal of usage and statistical information allowing continuous fine-tuning of the customer's system.

Over time, the customer's Tansa server develops an in-depth knowledge of their style of writing. Dictionary files continue to grow each year with lists of the words and phrases that are acceptable and used correctly - as well as the various types of incorrect usage and mistakes that have been made by users. This makes Tansa far more effective at finding and correcting spelling, text usage (style) and punctuation mistakes than ordinary spelling tools.
