In search of technical authoring tools?

A checker software does not think in the writer's place. Simplified Technical English training, although only a fraction of the cost of such supposed “full implementation”, achieves 75% of the benefits and results of an approach that includes checker software. Bear in mind that using checker software without proper training will do more harm than good. The tool cannot replace the writer, although it can certainly assist him.
