The gold standard in professional editing software since 2009

We launched our first product, PerfectIt, in 2009. It quickly became the leading tool for professional editors. PerfectIt was the first proofreading software to offer consistency checking and the first to make house style customization a standard feature.

The Chicago Manual of Style powered by PerfectIt

PerfectIt continues to innovate

We’re constantly improving PerfectIt. In 2021, it became the official platform for The Chicago Manual of Style’s proofreading solution. In 2023, we introduced PerfectIt for PowerPoint (currently in early access). PerfectIt 6 and other major announcements are also coming soon.

Draftsmith: How AI presented us a new way to help professionals

How AI presented us a new way to help professionals

The focus of most AI products is on first drafts and final edits. Professionals lack robust tools for the critical and time-consuming stages of redrafting, reviewing, and refining. AI simply can’t do that work for you.

However, we believe technology can help you make decisions faster and better. Based on our years of collaboration with professional writers and editors, we created Draftsmith to solve that problem.

Between first draft and final copyedit

Draftsmith far surpasses conventional writing tools. For professionals who write their own drafts, it makes the refinement stage more efficient. For those preparing a first draft with AI, Draftsmith helps to personalize the output. For anyone working with English as their second language, Draftsmith helps to level the playing field.

Draftsmith works the way you do. It lets you replace text without ever leaving Word.

Saving time

Draftsmith works the way you do. It lets you replace text without ever leaving Word. So there's no need for copy/pasting into browsers or other apps. And you can track all alterations using Word’s track changes. It adds value by streamlining edits, and helping you produce your best work, even when the clock is ticking.

Championing people-driven technology  Draftsmith remains true to our core belief that people make the best editing decisions.

Championing people-driven technology

Draftsmith remains true to our core belief that people make the best editing decisions. Our technology is driven by people, not by AI. Draftsmith, like PerfectIt, never alters a document on its own. It offers suggestions, sparks creativity and enhances your ability with words so that you can communicate your vision and ideas more effectively.
