Proofreading & Copy Editing
Proofreading / copy editing are vital to ensuring that written media is clear, accurate, and professional. It is the process of checking for errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
Technical publications projects undertaken by Pennant embed proofreading / copy editing into the programme plan. Publications are not submitted to the customer until the requisite proofreading / copy editing tasks have been satisfactorily completed.
Simplified Technical English
Simplified English is a type of English that is written so that it is easy for persons of all English levels to know. It is frequently used in technical publications, user manuals, and other materials that must be clear and short. It is related to industry standards and specifications, such as S1000D and iSpec2200. Simplified English gives:
-
Clear text: Simplified English is written so that it is easy to follow. This makes it good for materials that need to be quickly and easily known, such as user manuals and safety instructions.
-
Decreased translation work: Simplified English is easier to translate, which uses less time.
-
Better customer satisfaction: Products and services that come with clear technical publications help customers.
-
Increased sales: Clear and short technical publications can help to increase sales because they make it easier for customers to use your products.
