In prior posts, I have discussed and extolled the virtues of PerfectIt during the final editing stage (see, e.g., The 3 Stages of Copyediting: III — The Proofing Stage). Now version 2 of PerfectIt has been released.
The major enhancements found in PerfectIt 2 include the following:
- Quickly scan through errors with a new slider
- Return to past issues with the new Back button
- Clearer view of the working document with PerfectIt running to one side
- Compatibility with 64-bit versions of MS Office
- Quickly assess a document with consistency reports
- List revisions with reports on changes made
- Limit checking to sections of your document
- Significantly faster document checking
The following video demonstrates some of the enhancements found in PerfectIt 2:
PerfectIt 2 is available as an upgrade for current owners of PerfectIt. For more information, please visit Intelligent Editing at
