Hello,
Great news, everyone! Today, we announce the release of a new add-on that provides great support for helping technical writers - the Writer Helper Add-on!
This new entry to the
always-expanding Oxygen
add-on library contributes a
side-view named 'Writer Helper' that contains several tools intended to
enhance the technical writers’ day-to-day activity:
Review - Select folders
or files in the Project view and start a review session for
them. This is useful for reviewing a set of documents.
Similar Content - Select folders or
files in the Project view, then choose a list of elements to
check for similarity. This is useful for finding possible
elements that can be reused instead of being copy-pasted
between documents.
Read Aloud - Select content
in the current document and use the Play button to listen to
how it is read by the operating system's narrator. This is
useful for those who want to review content by listening to
it.
Tips - View a list of
editing tips tuned for technical writers. This is useful for
discovering productivity tips to make your editing
experience more efficient and productive.
