Proofreading
Entrust us with your texts for publication, advertising and PR materials, company presentations or websites. Our experienced proofreaders will proofread them carefully and professionally.
Proofreading by a native speaker
This includes spelling and grammar checking, including correcting typos and punctuation, checking the correctness and consistency of the terminology used, as well as basic stylistic editing. Proofreading is carried out by a native speaker of the language concerned.
Pre-press proofreading
The proofreader carries out a final check of the text before it is printed or published on the website. This checks for incorrect word order, page and chapter order, completeness, legibility or correct placement and insertion of images. It is usually done in pdf format. Proofreading is done by a native speaker with knowledge of DTP rules.
Professional proofreading
This is a check on the use of technical terms and the purpose of the text. Close cooperation with the client is essential to achieve the best possible results, in particular the provision of special terminology, a glossary of professional/company terms or recommendations of reference texts. Proofreading is carried out by a native speaker with knowledge of professional terminology.
Stylistic proofreading
In addition to spelling and grammar corrections, it also includes more extensive stylistic corrections – the aim is to make the text readable, perfectly understandable and clear. This option is ideal for marketing, advertising texts and book production, for example.
Language proofreading of foreign language texts
Linguistic proofreading of texts translated into foreign languages is always carried out by a native speaker from the area to which the document is directed. The native speaker is familiar not only with minor local linguistic differences (American, British, Australian English or Austrian German), but also with regional cultural specifics. For important translations, there should be a multi-stage check. In particular, texts intended for publication should be carefully proofread. Specifically, these include the following types of texts: texts for websites, information and promotional materials, manuals, press releases, annual reports and company magazines.
