This allows content editors to really focus in on the content that need remediation. It's also great to understand the exact issue, and be able to effectively communicate this the team. > > **Cons**: Having used this tools for a number of months, we are yet to find an issue. > > As a business in the Uk accessibility industry, we find this service incredibly useful when it comes to assessing the readability of our own, and clients' websites. The tool is incredibly useful and provides detailed and actionable insights on the content of the website/document that is being reviewed. The overall flow and usability of the product is great, it's evident there has been great care to ensure that the user interface and user experience is top quality. The interface is very easy to use, and it's very clear what's being communicated. The colour coding system works fantastically, allowing you to accurately determine what needs to be prioritised in the content process. From an assessment point of view, it makes it incredibly easy to demonstrate the readability of their websites/documents. There are very few products on the market that go in to as much depth as this, and we'd recommend that any organisation looking to improve readability use this tool, it's very effective and incredibly useful to any content professional. ----- ### "One of my favourite tools" — 5.0/5 > **Ann** | *January 27, 2020* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Our content specialists love using Visible Thread Readability for auditing and updating our digital content. We’re responsible for three large websites sites and two mobile apps. The sites in particular have a fair amount of content that doesn't meet our current brand standards; some content is old, some adopted from other businesses in mergers, some written by SMEs who are not writers, etc. Traditionally, content has taken a back seat to visual design, but VT Readability helps us to make a strong case for content improvements. We’ve been using Readability on projects that are currently in flight, as well as using it for audits to make a case for projects that we’d like to get on our roadmap. When executives and stakeholders see the before and after numbers, and big red vs. green boxes, they’re shocked into seeing deficiencies that they didn’t see before. They finally understand that our content recommendations aren’t simply subjective. For example, we’ve been able to show that large drop-off points in an application form correlated to content with poor readability scores, and showed how we could improve readability and by extension, reduce application drop-offs. The tool helps us create content that meets our friendlier voice and tone guidelines, and especially to meet AODA/WCAG accessibility requirements, which is vital in our regulated industry. It also helps us improve our SEO, and helps us to make our content more mobile friendly. Our editors really like using the Edit f > > **Cons**: No real cons, but a couple of expansions we’d love to see: A Canadian dictionary would be great, and the ability to scan site sections the way we can with the current VT Web. ----- ### "Critical support for my day to day job." — 4.0/5 > **Susie** | *May 29, 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: VT writer's ease of use. Scoring is an excellent guide to further improve our content. > > **Cons**: Scores used for French language not adapted to reality. Number of syllables to determine readability is unrealistic. > > Worklife changer. Very easy to use and promote to others. ----- ### "Essential tool for editing for plain language" — 5.0/5 > **Susan** | *May 28, 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I edit web content, usually for the general public (Grade 6-8). I love that VT Writer can quickly assess the before and after reading levels of entire documents or even sentences or paragraphs. It helps me tailor content to specific audiences. It also helps me convince clients that my edits are effective when I can show them before and after VT assessments. > > **Cons**: I wish it worked better with Word documents in progress (ie heavily marked up text). As it is, I have to save a copy, accept all changes, and then submit that clean document to VT Writer. > > Awesome software, and the people at VT are great - super responsive and helpful. ----- ### "A very powerful tool" — 5.0/5 > **Julie** | *May 28, 2024* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: VT writer is very user friendly, intuitive and easy to use. You plop in your content and the rest is almost all automatic. It gives very constructive feedback and suggestions. > > **Cons**: I would like to see eventually stronger results in French but I understand that it takes time and it's a complex language. > > I use VT writer almost everyday for my work and I save hours in my workload and I learn from it every time I analyze content. I wouldn't work without it. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2049053/vt-writer?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2049053/vt-writer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
