I'm working with FramaMaker 10 (and Robohelp 9). We sell our software to an international market, many of whom don't have English as their first language, so for future releases we'd like to edit the most popular of our docs to use simplified technical English. Using it will also make it easier for our users to run text through machine translators and get good quality results, or for us to translate the docs more easily at some point in the future.
Can anyone recommend any grammar checker plugins, ideally for FrameMaker, but at a pinch for Acrobat Pro or RoboHelp.
A quick Google search has turned up:
MAXit Checker
Boeing Simplified Englsh Checker
HyperSTE
All of which seem to have FM plugins, but they're all pretty opaque about how much they cost without waking up the sales attack dogs. None of them seem to do any try before buy offers either (unlike the excellent 1 month trials for Adobe stuff!).
Anyone tried using any of the above, or others?
