Likelihood to Recommend	BidSparq No answers on this topic	VisibleThread 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. Incentivized Nelson De Sousa Senior consultant Read full review
Pros	BidSparq No answers on this topic	VisibleThread Acronym finder - the best acronym finder I have used! This creates an Excel spreadsheet with the acronyms and their definitions in an alphabetically sorted worksheet ... AND this worksheet includes actual sentences from the document showing how and where the acronym was used. Compare documents - WOW! what a wonderful update! You get an Excel worksheet with the 2 compared documents side-by-side showing differences in red and statements with no changes in blue. Starter compliance matrix (SCM) - again, one of the best SCM-creators I have used. This choice is quick, concise, and the resulting Excel worksheet is easy to manipulate and change.

Cons	BidSparq No answers on this topic	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 Incentivized Nelson De Sousa Senior consultant Read full review
Alternatives Considered	BidSparq No answers on this topic	VisibleThread We reviewed many other products but found all of them did not have the extent of tasks that VT had. These searches were over 5 years ago and many of the products reviewed are no longer available. In addition, some software still in existence have merit, just not to the extent we need. I do not want to give anyone a bad rating just because we did not choose them. Again, choose the right software for the right job! Verified User Read full review
