Having used VisibleThread VT Writer for both internal knowledge base documentation and external communications, I would highly recommend it to any writer who wants to simplify their content. VisibleThread VT Writer makes content way more digestible for a wider audience. VisibleThread VT Writer is great at identifying passive voice, long sentences and complex words. It will ensure that whatever you write is simple enough that a young kid can read and understand your content.

VisibleThread
  • More automation, other software in this space is able to completely rewrite content and even provide multiple iterations at once
  • Ability to tailor results and desired output based on target audience, i.e. desired grade level might vary based on audience
  • Would be nice if VT can start writing content based on bullet points, again more automation

I gave a rating of 10 because, thus far, Autodesk AEC Collection Seems to be on the leading edge for what is required for the construction planning, implementation, and continued of real-world assets. Autodesk has been a great benefit for our organization and has allowed us to continue to improve not only ourselves but the people we work with. We have been using Autodesk AEC Collection for a number of years and hope to continue for a long time coming.

VisibleThread VT Writer is better at identifying passive voice, run-on sentences and complex words and actually shows you where the problem in your writing is happening. Wordtune is better at providing suggestions or completely rewriting the content, which can save time but also doesn't give the user the ability to self-correct in the future.
