Our mission
We believe that people make the best editing decisions and that they always will. We build technology to help people edit faster and better.
The gold standard in professional editing software
In 2009, we launched our first product, PerfectIt, which quickly became the leading tool for professional editors. PerfectIt was the first proofreading software to offer consistency checking, as well as being the first to integrate house style customization as a standard feature for all users.
PerfectIt continues to innovate
In 2021 PerfectIt became the official proofreading platform for The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS). In 2024, we updated our checks in line with the release of the 18th edition of CMOS. We also collaborated with Microsoft to release the Microsoft Writing Style Guide within PerfectIt.
Intelligent Editing continues to innovate and improve PerfectIt for our customers, community, and editing professionals globally.
Draftsmith is our new product for writing and editing

The key to Draftsmith is that it only improves your existing text; it doesn’t suffer from the problems (and risks) of AI software that tries to write for you. Draftsmith works directly in Microsoft Word so you can work with AI without losing focus by switching between platforms.
