WordsRU - Comparative Proofreading

“Comparisons of statements made at different periods frequently enable us to give maximal and minimal dates to the appearance of a cultural element or to assign the time limits to a movement of population.
—Edward Sapir
American Scientist 1884-1939

As we proceed through our review, we create a detailed accounting of all the deviations encountered, and provide this list to you for use in modifying your materials. If you desire, we will make all necessary changes to your documents as we encounter them, following conventions you provide. Our editors are poised to assist you with all your comparative proofreading needs, including comparing web copy, converted documents and translated documents.

  • Comparative Web Copy Proofreading

    We at WordsRU understand the importance of effective, accurate web page content and are here to assist you in every stage of your web site development, including editing your web text, helping you develop your copy deck, proofreading your live copy and finally, performing document comparative proofreading of your copy deck and live copy. We recognize how easily mistakes can be introduced as the copy deck is transferred to live copy. Web sites are often developed in stages by multiple development teams, with the copy deck being developed by one team of writers, while being transferred to live copy by another. As with any multi-team task, errors are likely. Our editors are here to perform the comparative proofreading that will ensure your live copy is an accurate reflection of your carefully developed copy deck.

  • Comparative Proofreading of Converted Documents

    In today’s world of rapidly changing technology, it is often necessary to convert documents from one format to another. While there are many software packages available to accomplish this task, few, if any, produce clean replicas of your original documents in the new format. It is not uncommon for conversion packages to mistakenly identify formatting codes and produce unwanted consequences. WordsRU’s professional editors have years of experience in identifying conversion problems and are available to relieve you of the headaches associated with comparing converted documents with their originals.
