acrolinx - Technology for Information Quality

Logo acrolinx

Fischer Computertechnik and acrolinx work closely together to make the technical documentation more efficient and consistent. TIM-RS of Fischer Computertechnik and IQ Suite of acrolinx are market leader in content management systems and technology for information quality. They complement each other perfectly:

  • The reuse of text modules in TIM-RS ensures consistency at document level.
  • acrolinx supplements this with linguistic consistency at sentence and word level.

 

What does this integration of TIM-RS® and acrolinx look like?

The proven solution TIM-RS is effectively supplemented by the linguistically based technology for information quality of acrolinx. The author works in a familiar authoring environment (FrameMaker, XMAX) and has got full access to the TIM-RS features. In addition, the integrated acrolinx‘ control of language quality marks blocked terms, undesirable formulations as well as stylistic errors, and offers suggestions for correction. The completed and tested text module is then managed in TIM-RS.

 

 

The management of the terminology, the formulation pattern and the desired linguistic style is carried out directly. In addition, there is a quality-controlled workflow: In the release process TIM-RS modules are checked for quality and then approved.

 

Linguistic intelligence implemented

The highlight of the acrolinx Technology for Information Quality is the implemented linguistic intelligence. The linguistic analysis of the text provides an efficient error detection and improvement. Therefore, complex stylistic rules like "use in instructions Active" as well as correction suggestions of high quality become possible.

Only a complex linguistic analysis recognizes that in the statement, "The errors in the device occurred and saved during the measurement are generated" there is an unnecessarily complex noun phrase that has no place in technical documents. By close links with the text structure, it is possible to use different rules for instructions, warnings, headings or lists.

Spelling variants are used automatically for the check. The manual maintenance of the terminology variants is omitted.

Quality right from the beginning

The editing system TIM-RS is making a major contribution to the standardization of the texts by the reuse of text modules. At word and sentence level, acrolinx increases the textual consistency.

You can benefit from this experience:

  • Higher text quality and comprehensibility reduce costs of faulty communication, internally and externally.
  • Improved matches in the translation memory lead to significant savings in the costs for translation.
  • The corporate identity is also reflected in language, by consistency at the document, formulation and word level.
  • The search in the technical information is improved by consistent terminology.
