WordRake has been the common thread and silent partner in ensuring that each message is direct and succinct.” Roberta Johnson, Director of the Office of Student Financial Aid at Iowa State University, says: “Since March, three members of the National Direct Student Loan Coalition have testified before various Congressional committees. That’s where WordRake shines-helping us remove the clutter.” And when we’re too close to what we’ve written, too tired, or don’t know what to look for, we need a second set of eyes to help us see those meaningless words. “At the root of everything I’ve taught and everything we’ve put into WordRake for the past five years is one simple concept: Every word not conveying meaning detracts from every word trying to convey meaning.
Kinder has written bestselling books and taught over 1,000 writing programs to the country’s biggest law firms, corporations, and government agencies. WordRake’s unique focus on clarity and brevity also makes it an excellent proofreading tool for government and private organizations with plain-language requirements, like the federal Plain Writing Act of 2010. Legal professionals will find WordRake particularly helpful as local, state, and federal courts continue tightening word limits on briefs, like the recent reduction in federal appellate courts. WordRake 3 converts hundreds of dull nominalizations to lively verbs (“make a recommendation" becomes “recommend”), turns negative statements into positive statements (“the auditor didn’t find any discrepancies” becomes “the auditor found no discrepancies”), and removes windy “windups” (“It should be stated that” and “Please note that”). “No software can match a talented editor,” says WordRake creator and founder Gary Kinder, “but no editor can keep in her head all that we can teach WordRake.” When a writer clicks the “Rake” button, WordRake reviews the text like a human editor, automatically highlighting dull and unnecessary words. It also features an optimized interface that allows users to see all editing suggestions for an entire document or email-in just one click.Īlready used in thousands of law firms, businesses, academic institutions, and government agencies, WordRake is not a spellchecker or a grammar checker, but a writing checker.
