PerfectIt is professional proofreading and consistency-checking software for Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Trusted by professional editors around the world and used by medical writing teams in more than 80% of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, PerfectIt helps individuals work faster and produce higher-quality documents while giving organizations a scalable way to improve quality control and maintain writing standards across teams. PerfectIt is designed for professional editors, medical writers, proposal professionals, lawyers, technical writers, translators and other professionals who work with important, complex or high-stakes documents. \*\*Find errors that spelling and grammar checkers miss\*\* PerfectIt checks consistency across an entire document or presentation. It finds hard-to-spot issues including: • Inconsistent capitalization • Inconsistent hyphenation and spelling • Undefined or inconsistently used abbreviations and acronyms • Inconsistent numbers • Inconsistent punctuation and capitalization in lists • Inconsistent terminology • Unclosed quotation marks and brackets • Extra spaces, comments and placeholder text accidentally left in documents • Inconsistencies across tables, headings and other document elements PerfectIt also helps ensure that regional spelling is appropriate and consistent and that documents created by multiple contributors speak with one voice. \*\*Proofread faster without giving up editorial control\*\* PerfectIt reduces repetitive checking and cleanup, allowing editors, writers and subject-matter experts to spend more time on the work that requires professional judgment. Unlike generative AI writing tools, PerfectIt doesn't generate or rewrite content. It applies rules, identifies potential issues and leaves every decision with the user. You review each suggestion and decide whether to make the change. For individual professionals, that means faster, more thorough proofreading, fewer missed inconsistencies and greater confidence in the quality of the finished document. \*\*Turn your house style into quality control\*\* For organizations, PerfectIt provides a systematic way to apply editorial standards across teams, authors and documents. PerfectIt for Windows can be customized to check an organization's own house style, approved terminology, spelling, capitalization, abbreviations and other writing preferences. Customized styles can be shared across teams, helping everyone work to the same standards. This provides organizations with a repeatable quality-control process that can help: • Apply house style and terminology consistently • Share writing standards across teams • Find inconsistencies across entire documents • Reduce repetitive manual checking • Reduce avoidable rework • Maintain consistency across multi-author documents • Provide writers with instructions and guidance • Keep terminology, acronyms, capitalization and spelling consistent • Maintain quality standards across large volumes of content PerfectIt is particularly valuable for organizations producing regulated, sensitive, technical, legal, medical, government, proposal and other high-stakes content. \*\*Built-in styles from leading authorities\*\* PerfectIt can also check documents using established style guidance. Built-in styles include: • The Chicago Manual of Style • Microsoft Writing Style Guide • United Nations Style • European Union Style • World Health Organization Style • US Government Publishing Office (GPO) Style • Australian Government Style • American Legal Style • UK, US, Canadian and Australian spelling PerfectIt for Windows also lets users build and customize styles for their own organization, client, publication or project requirements. \*\*Built for security, privacy and control\*\* PerfectIt is not AI. PerfectIt for Windows works entirely locally and does not connect to the internet or a local network. Documents never leave the user's computer, making it particularly suitable for confidential, sensitive and regulated content. PerfectIt doesn't generate content, rewrite text or send documents to an AI service. Its rule-based approach provides predictable consistency and style checking while keeping editorial decisions in human hands. PerfectIt Cloud provides a Mac-compatible option, with documents securely processed in the cloud and deleted shortly after the user finishes working on them. \*\*Quality control for human-written and AI-assisted content\*\* As organizations adopt generative AI, maintaining consistent editorial standards becomes increasingly important. AI can generate content quickly, but it doesn't reliably follow every organization's terminology, house style and writing rules. PerfectIt provides an independent, rule-based quality-control layer for human-written, AI-assisted and collaboratively produced documents. It checks finished content against defined standards without generating or rewriting it. That makes PerfectIt particularly useful for organizations that want the productivity benefits of AI while retaining control over terminology, consistency, house style and document quality. \*\*PerfectIt for Word and PowerPoint\*\* PerfectIt works directly inside Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, allowing professionals to check documents and presentations without changing their established workflow. Whether you're an independent editor checking a client's manuscript, a medical writer reviewing a complex clinical document, a proposal team preparing a high-value bid, or a global organization maintaining writing standards across teams, PerfectIt helps you proofread faster, reduce manual checking, catch hard-to-find errors and produce more consistent, professional documents. * * * Seller [Intelligent Editing](https://www.g2.com/sellers/intelligent-editing) Discussions [PerfectIt Community](https://www.g2.com/products/perfectit/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Katy Alderson Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Perceived Cost $$$$$ [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/perfectit/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Grammarly](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Grammarly") Grammarly 4.7/5(14,063) ](https://www.g2.com/products/grammarly/reviews) [ ![Semrush](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Semrush") Semrush 4.4/5(4,026) ](https://www.g2.com/products/semrush/reviews) [ ![INK](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "INK") INK 4.8/5(169) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ink-content-inc-ink/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/perfectit/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 164 real user reviews.

Regulatory Writing Expert Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/13/2022 "Breakthrough for Quality in Regulatory Writing" 5/5 What do you like best about PerfectIt? As a Regulatory Writing Expert with more than 20 years of authoring 100+-page regulatory documents for the biopharmaceutical industry, I love improving the formal quality of my deliverables in British and American English. PerfectIt is an easy-to-use app that catches any inconsistencies in large and complex documents. PerfectIt goes far beyond spell-checking. Virtually all aspects of formatting and hyphenation are also covered. I have been using PerfectIt for more than five years and cannot imagine delivering any document to my clients without having it checked with PerfectIt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use PerfectIt as my final check before returning work to a client. It acts as a third set of eyes and checks for common errors that I might miss, especially in longer documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PerfectIt? I don't have any complaints. Some features don't apply to the work I review, like commonly confused words or tables. I would like to be able to customize it for phrases my clients capitalize or to search for words I need to capitalize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PerfectIt solving and how is that benefiting you? I use PerfectIt to catch open-ended punctuation (like missing quotation marks in novels) or consistency errors (also in novels).

Nonfiction Editor & Writer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/17/2022 "A must have tool for efficient editors!" 5/5 What do you like best about PerfectIt? That it allows me to use my editing time efficiently. Running PerfectIt is one step in my editing processes. It helps me clean up a document (i.e., remove unnecessary spaces, check consistency of hyphenation and spelling before I even being reading it) so that by the time I'm ready to focus on editing, a lot of the minor things have already been taken care of, and they are not a distraction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PerfectIt? Nothing, I have zero complaints! I don't use all the style guides, but the ones I do use are extremely thorough.

What problems is PerfectIt solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a book editor and always use PerfectIt at the start of a project while skimming through the chapters and assessing the scope of editing needed. Its consistency check is extremely helpful and saves me so much time that I would have had to spend painstakingly checking for inconsistent spellings, word breaks, and the like. I can quickly get a sense of potential problem areas and start a style sheet. I haven't had a chance to use the new integration with CMS feature, but it looks like it will be a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PerfectIt? I have not found anything I dislike so far. Of the features that are applicable to my situation, they are all easy to use and navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hebrew and Greek document and manuscript researcher Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/29/2022 "Saves time, effort and energy" 5/5 What do you like best about PerfectIt? So many tedious formatting operations can be checked and corrected in such a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PerfectIt? I am not aware of any dislikes in my use - because the value-for-time-spent is so high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PerfectIt solving and how is that benefiting you? I wrote oodles of LARGE documents in the years before PerfectIt was available and I had to spend a significant amount of time trying to standardize them (or get someone else to do it - which was still a time cost). Since PerfectIt, I happily make the changes myself because I don't have to refer to a formatting standards manual/list. I can look at the highlighted text and make a change consistent across the document and/or focus on editing the content as needed a consequence of what PerfectIt found. So, time saved and better quality output without the pain of having to mentally focus on the formatting itself (risking missing useful content improvements around the formatting).

Copy-editor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/24/2022 "Invaluable software for copy-editors and proofreaders" 5/5 What do you like best about PerfectIt? All of the basic consistency checks that PerfectIt allows me to run are extremely helpful, along with the fact that I can tailor them to what is needed for the document being worked on. The feature that allows you to run checks with different styles is also helpful when working with clients with varying approaches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PerfectIt? There is nothing I can think of that I particularly dislike about PerfectIT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PerfectIt solving and how is that benefiting you? I have been using PerfectIt for several years now, and I find it invaluable as an extra tool to use as part of the service I provide as a freelance copy-editor and proofreader. It gives me extra confidence to know that if I have accidentally missed an inconsistency in the document I’m working on, PerfectIt will pick it up, so that I can give an even more polished product back to my clients. It’s the one piece of specialist writing-related software that I really wouldn’t want to be without. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Freelance Proofreader and Copy-editor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/23/2022 "PerfectIt is an extremely valuable and adaptable tool - I couldn't do without it." 5/5 What do you like best about PerfectIt? PerfectIt is my favourite tool for copyediting or proofreading in Word. I use it at the start of every job, whether it's a short document or longer project. In just a few minutes, it takes care of many repetitive and normally time-consuming tasks such as establishing consistency of spelling and hyphenation and checking abbreviations, giving me a rapid overview of some of the potential issues in the document before I start reading it in detail. After using PerfectIt for many years mainly to check consistency and US or UK spelling, I realized it was even more useful to set up detailed style sheets for each individual client, where appropriate, thus automating even more of the editorial process and allowing me to focus more on the meaning of the content. I would hate to be without it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PerfectIt? The only downside I can think of is that when used purely as a consistency checker, it will not pick up potential errors that are consistent! However, this is rarely a big issue, and can be overcome by using or customizing style sheets, to tell PerfectIt exactly what you want it to pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PerfectIt solving and how is that benefiting you? When I started my editorial business my editing/proofreading speed was relatively slow, a side effect of the perfectionism that encouraged me to start in the first place. PerfectIt has helped to speed up my editing process and reduce errors, enabling me to do a better job for my clients as well as making my freelance work more profitable.

I am a big fan of PerfectIt and use it for most of my editing work. The longer the document, the more it comes into its own. It catches inconsistencies and is quick and straightforward to use.

As a translator, I work for various clients, mainly international organisations, each with their own in-house style, and the customised style sheets my clients provide save me from having to constantly consult their style manuals. In addition to being very good at catching inconsistencies, PerfectIt also ensures my documents meet all my clients’ specific style requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
