Focus on the content. We’ll take care of the rest.

How can WordSword help you?
WordSword provides a guided authoring environment that intelligently assists in the writing process, ensuring editorial requirements are met while writing.
WordSword provides an intelligent, context-sensitive environment for creating content.
A simple interface helps with mapping the publisher's preferred style names, removing the need for an author to remember style names that will obviously vary from publisher to publisher.
An author can use the interface with absolutely zero training. Styles can be evoked/switched with one shortcut key.
In a traditional world, an author would not only have to write the content but also pay careful attention to formatting details such as leading, font size, and page size of the manuscript. Content created in WordSword is automatically structured and can be output to the format prescribed by the publisher.
WordSword is accessible online, via a browser. Authors get to see a visual representation of how elements will eventually look, giving them the opportunity to trim or augment the content based on aesthetic or pedagogical preferences.
Getting Started
Once a template is chosen, WordSword uses context to determine and suggest the appropriate style (e.g., "paragraph", "sub-heading") for the writer to adopt. At any given time, an author is exposed to only the styles relevant at that point, ensuring that the focus is on the actual writing itself. The styles suggested are built into each template, and can be customized according to the requirements of individual publications.

Why WordSword?
WordSword allows an author to focus on actual content creation without the burden of ensuring that the publisher’s comprehensive formatting requirements are adhered to.
Single shortcut key to remember!
WordSword is simple. It was designed with the intention of simplifying the laborious process of clicking on a style and applying it to selected content as is the case with conventional authoring systems. There is no elaborate checklist to follow. Login, select a template, and start writing.
Author experience
The interface is Word-like, and requires just one simple shortcut key to remember. The styles get automatically enforced based on the hierarchy and the template choice, removing the need to remember style names that vary across publishers. A visual rendering of the content provides an understanding of how the final output will look.
