Text Enrichment Software

Even though correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation are vital for a professionally written document, there is more you can do to enhance your texts. Even if all your sentences abide to sentence structure rules, each having a subject and a predicate with properly placed commas and periods, simply being correct is not enough. In order to attract readers and have them not get bored reading your essays, reports or even simple e-mails, there are quite a few text enrichment strategies you should use.

The basic purpose of text enrichment practices is to make the text more varied and interesting. A basic way to achieve variety is to use sentences of different lengths. Writing only in short sentences creates a monotone telegraphic style usually characteristic of young schoolchildren's writing. Conversely, long multi-clause or convoluted sentences may irritate or tire the reader. The solution is to use long and short constructions interchangeably and alternate between simple, compound, complex and compound-complex sentence types. Why not surprise your readers with a question ? Inserting an interrogative or imperative sentence here and there can spice things up, as can an exclamation or interjection awaken the reader from time to time.

The WhiteSmoke online English writing software is a world forerunner in enriching a written English text suggesting word replacements and word additions - a feature never seen before in any English writing software. As Writers should avoid using the same word in one sentence and instead use synonyms or rephrasing to refer to the same person or concept, WhiteSmoke provides rephrasing, synonyms and extra modifiers contextually based on advanced algorithmic enrichment engines. Expanding sentences with modifiers, such as adjectives and adverbs is yet another key strategy aiding in text enrichment. This functions by juxtaposing the user's text with a database of millions of texts taken from real-life English corpora such as business and news websites. The software cleverly retrieves word collocations and commonly used phrases and thus comes up with the enrichment suggestions for the user's text.

Take, for example, a sentence taken from a user's essay about a class trip to the beach:

The teacher took his students on a trip to the beach.

This simple sentence can be further enriched as to create a more detailed mental picture within the mind of the reader. With a simple F2 button press, WhiteSmoke offers you the following:

1. extra adjectives for teacher: inspiring, devoted
2. synonyms for teacher: mentor, instructor, schoolteacher
3. synonyms for trip: visit, tour
4. synonyms for beach: seaside, coast

These enrichment suggestions enable WhiteSmoke users to make their writing more diverse and appealing to the reader and prevent repetitions. In addition, such carefully selected text enrichment items have the power to lead the writer into coming up with new ideas, which were not previously planned. For example, the extra adjective devoted may lead the writer to expand on the teacher's personality thus adding valuable descriptive volume to the text.
