having my email client highlight overly long sentences, duplicate words, ambiguous references (e.g. what noun does "it" refer to) and more would undoubtable save proofreading time and doesn't sounds that difficult to implement. While it's geared a bit more for the legal field, WordRake does a good job of finding many of these mistakes. It works as an Add-in for Word or Outlook. It's good for finding instances where you use 5 words when 2 would have been better. It will analyze a chunk of text, find clunky chunks, and give a suggestion which you can accept or reject. I find even if the suggestion isn't a good one, it's a bad sentence which needs to be reworked. Because the intent of a sentence is not always known, there is no Accept All button. http://www.wordrake.com/ http://www.wordrake.com/ Disclaimer: I have received a free year license, but not in exchange for writing this.
