The Weaknesses in Spellcheckers
How Can I Maintain my Brand’s Credibility?
You’ve invested a lot of effort into your brand by carefully using the right visuals and texts. Let us take you the rest of the way there when you start to publish for an international market. As an optional add-on, Taia can conduct a final review of your translated content before you present it to your audience.
In English language documents, we scrutinize every sentence for parallelism, pronoun-reference agreement, appropriate verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, and run-on ideas. We know how important it is that your business’ reputation remains untarnished!
Always on the Hunt for Typos
No matter the target language family group, we at Taia check the potentially problematic areas of:
- Syntax – passive voice, narrator focus, repetition of words, inversion of the natural order of speech
- Grammar – aspectuality, and temporality in which the verb tenses are checked for best-fit with relation to how described events unfold.
- Rhetoric – reproducing figures of thought such as metaphors, oxymorons, paradox, comparisons, and diction in an accurate way.
- Pragmatic – decision to use formal or personal informal pronouns in specific languages, as well as idioms, irony, and humour.
- Culture – for the display of dates and other regionalized ways of describing information.
- Lexical-Semantic – for the consideration of terminology best befitting your document’s purpose.
Our goal is to make your written content suitable for the target audience following the principle of the five Cs: correct, consistent, clear, concise, and complete.
For those incredibly important documents such as contracts and memorandums, reviewing and proofreading is important for peace of mind. For what it’s worth, proofreading ensures your business shines, no matter the target country or market.
