Proofreading Services
LOOKING FOR PROJECT EXCELLENCE? SEARCH NO MORE
Proofreading and Revision are fundamental step towards achieving a superior quality text.
Relying on a competent reviewer guarantees the success of a project, whether it’s a translation or an authored text.
Writing is the storefront and the brand image of any content. This must be aligned with how much you value your business or project.
Reviewing is essential for those who seek quality in the content they produce, especially if they intend to disclose it, whether to a small group or a broader audience.
Writers or translators—regardless of how talented or competent—are unable to perform an efficient review of their own work, as they are too close to the text they’ve created.
When translating, we often miss simple mistakes that go undetected by automatic proofing tools, even when we do proofread our work. Often, only the “fresh eyes” of a third person will detect these more elusive errors.
Reviewers, with their experience and a fresh outlook, are capable of detecting issues that the author may have originally missed. An expert reviewer will focus on spelling, grammar, syntax, semantics, terminology, punctuation, and even consistency and cohesion.
Therefore, proofreading by someone other than the translator is a key part of the translation process.
When you entrust us with your content, you benefit from the expertise of two editors specialising in European Portuguese. Sónia R. Dias brings several years of experience as a Portuguese language tutor and English teacher, before dedicating her career to translation and copywriting. This diverse background has given her a thorough command of grammar, spelling, style and persuasive writing, adding significant value to every editing and proofreading project. Eliane Lourinho, in turn, is renowned for her exceptional “editorial eye” and meticulous attention to detail, carrying out comprehensive reviews with outstanding rigour, consistency and precision to ensure the highest quality final text.
Together, we offer a rare combination of linguistic expertise, editorial excellence and technical precision, delivering a comprehensive, high-quality editing and proofreading service you can rely on.
We also have some of the best software tools in the market to assist us in proofreading and quality assurance:
- Verifika, a Quality Assurance tool that helps detect and correct formatting, consistency, terminology, grammar, and spelling errors in translated files.
- Flip, a spelling and syntax checker that detects spelling errors and helps correct them. It also includes suggestions for style and grammar.
- ApSIC Xbench, a Quality Assurance tool that enables terminology management in the most common CAT formats, such as TMX, XLIFF, Trados Studio, Wordfast, MemoQ, Deja Vu, etc.
