I like that it helps me maintain consistency of style. I don't like that it can get stuck. I think it should be less expensive. Pros I like that I only have to run it once.

Transcript proofreader Writing and Editing ### "Valuable Tool for Court Reporters, Scopists, and Trandscript Proofreaders" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 19, 2023 As a transcript proofreader for court reporters, I use Word and PerfectIt to "prep" the transcript for me to read and perform some initial checks on the transcript. For my purposes, the ability to create/customize style sheets and the consistency checks are what set PerfectIt apart.Court reporters record speech verbatim. Punctuation is critical to the accuracy and readability of their finished product; grammar, not so much. Because of this, court reporters follow style guides that differ from those most writers employ. PerfectIt's style customization allows me to create style sheets based upon those specialized style guides.The consistency checks have caught things I'm sure I (and most of the proofers I know) would have missed in my reading. For example, in a 400-page transcript, if the abbreviation R.N. is used 14 times and RN is used once, I may or may not catch it -- but PerfectIt will.Overall, the addition of PerfectIt to my proofreading workflow has, I'm sure, improved the quality of my work. And in a field where reputation among a relatively small community (stenographers in the U.S.) correlates to income, any edge helps. Pros For my purposes of proofreading verbatim proceedings transcripts for stenographers, my use of PerfectIt only scratches the surface when it comes to its functionality. There are two features that speed up my preparation of a transcript for me to read: consistency checks and customizable style sheets. Cons I think creating and editing style sheets could be a bit more intuitive. I figured it out, but it took some trial and error to figure out how to categorize the task/check I want performed. For example, I'd expect spelling peculiarities to be added under "Preferred Spelling," but depending on how I want it handled, it might have to go under "Spelling Variations."

MO Meredith O. Editor Publishing ### "A great helping hand" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 January 18, 2023 Pros I really like PerfectIt and think it does a good job, catching things at the end of a Word document that I might have missed. I've only used it for basic checks because my clients often have bespoke styles I need to apply myself, but it is really helpful to do a final sweep at the end of editing. Cons However, the one big catch is how long it takes to process/think, which doesn't seem to speed up even if there are 50,000 fewer words. As previously noted, some easily sorted "style choices" – like using a compound word as a modifier and a standalone word, and therefore having it exist in the manuscript as both hyphenated and not hyphenated – come up as contradictions to your set style, and I have to click through quite a lot of those, so I wish the software recognised those and disregarded them. The inability to edit anything coupled with the long wait times for it to finish processing mean it sometimes takes a few hours and if I'm on a tight deadline, I just don't have the time to run it.

LM Laura M. Owner and line editor Publishing ### "PerfectIt works " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 16, 2023 I use PerfectIt every day. It helps get us past the 95% error-free industry standard. We strive for 100% on every book that we edit and proof. Pros I love that it finds little spaces that can be hard to see between punctuation and words. Cons Sometimes it misses names spelled differently.

Pros Running consistency and other mechanical checks frees up time for deeper editing tasks. Cons This is not always an issue but it can be slow.

AK Adele K. Freelance translator & editor Translation and Localization ### "Quality assurance and peace of mind" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 11, 2023 I always proofread my translations, but PerfectIt adds a layer of quality assurance that gives me peace of mind. Pros As a freelance translator, I often work to tight deadlines, and PerfectIt ensures that any language (grammar/spelling/punctuation/style/consistency) and presentation errors are picked up before delivery. This allows me to spend more time working on the transfer of meaning from the source language to the target language and the content in terms of logic and facts. I also appreciate the style guides and the option to create a house style for individual clients. Cons There is nothing that I dislike about the software.
