"An essential editing tool"
5/5
What do you like best about PerfectIt?

I've been using PerfectIt for more than ten years and it has become an essential part of my editing toolkit. It fits seamlessly into my workflow and is an excellent tool for analysing the styles that are in use in a document as well as for ensuring that the text conforms to a specific style. I can't imagine working without it now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerfectIt?

There were occasional bugs in earlier versions of the software, and some of the processes could run very slowly. All of these problems have been ironed out in subsequent releases, and I've found the developers very responsive to feedback on bugs and glitches. I have no issues with the latest version.

"Excellent addition to my translator's tool box"
5/5
What do you like best about PerfectIt?

I use it during the editing step of my translation process. It's a great tool for catching inconsistencies, double spaces, open brackets and the like. I love that I can choose between UK and US spelling and even legal style. The flexibility of choosing to accept or reject suggested changes is also a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerfectIt?

For highly specialized texts, I wish I could add words to a dictionary. I often edit or proofread a document where I need to use the "Track changes" functions in Word. Any changes made by PerfectIt are not tracked. It would be great if that could be added to the settings. Another feature I'd like to see is checking for protected spaces between number and unit.

"The Best Proofing Assistant by Far"
5/5
What do you like best about PerfectIt?

The inclusion of the popular Chicago Manual of Style is a great advantage but I love the variety of different style rules. This is particularly helpful for translators who have clients with various needs and writing styles, i.e. British, American or Australian English spelling and style rules.

What do you dislike about PerfectIt?

Nothing really to dislike. It meets all of my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Essential tool for copyediting!"
5/5
What do you like best about PerfectIt?

There are a number of key features that makes PerfectIt a great product for copyeditors. The customizable consistency checks are so valuable to me. I know I can count on PerfectIt to catch spelling or hyphenation inconsistencies that I've missed. When working with large documents or large amounts of content, having a backup set of "eyes" gives me peace of mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerfectIt?

I don't have much to complain about! One thing I've noticed is that sometimes when I click on a flagged item, it's hard to find where in the document the relevant text is. Making that more obvious would make my job even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I wouldn't be without it."
5/5
What do you like best about PerfectIt?

I've been using PerfectIt since it was first available, and I've seen it improve with every new version. While it's invaluable for ensuring consistency, freeing my brain from worrying about hyphens and capitalisation so I can focus on what matters – the meaning, my favourite feature is the customisable style sheets. I have one for every client. Oh, and the check for unclosed quotes and parentheses nearly always finds something I've missed. Quite simply, as a professional editor, I wouldn't be without it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerfectIt?

The check for Oxford commas massively over-generates – but that's inevitable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding program that is quick and accurate."
5/5
What do you like best about PerfectIt?

PerfectIt works as advertised. I have several AI editors, and PI is my go-to first choice and top recommendation of them all. It has the broadest amount of features, has the highest rate of corrections that are approved, and overall catches those nits that are easily missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PerfectIt?

There is nothing I dislike about the program. It works as advertised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
