Almost finished doesn’t mean ready for approval.

Almost finished doesn’t mean ready for approval.

We turn good texts into reliable final versions.

A text may have been translated, written and revised several times. And yet something still isn’t quite right.

A term that’s been used incorrectly. An ambiguous sentence. A tone that misses the mark with the target audience. A number that looks right, but isn’t.

That’s where flexword comes in, performing a final, thorough check before publication, handover or approval. Linguistically precise, terminologically consistent and ready to use – no further work required.

Most texts seem perfectly plausible. Until someone takes a closer look. Then the next round of corrections begins. At best.

Not just correct. Not just fluent. Not just given a quick once-over.

But rather:

In practical terms, that means:

FULLY PROOFREAD TEXT

CONSISTENT, STANDARDISED TERMINOLOGY

TONE AND REGISTER SUITED TO THE PURPOSE

A CLEAN FINAL DRAFT, READY FOR APPROVAL

CHECK TEXT.
CONFIRM APPROVAL.

A text delivers the content. The final check ensures the quality.

Our workflow:

ORDER CLARIFICATION

Target audience, intended use and existing references

Because the same text has to meet different requirements depending on how it will be used.

LINGUISTIC VERIFICATION

Spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation and phrasing

Making sure what is meant to be correct is actually expressed correctly.

TERMINOLOGY AND STYLE

Technical terms, tone, register and consistency

Ensuring that the text remains consistent and coherent throughout.

DELIVERY AND FINALISATION

Track changes, comments or a final revised version

Transparent and traceable, or ready for immediate use – depending on how you want the final text delivered.

Final check

Because ‘almost finished’ can easily slip through the net – and lead straight into another round of corrections.
