Whitesmoke.com review

I came accross this website and was wondering if anyone has use this tool? The ratings seem very good. But I am not sure if the ratings are legit. If you have any experience with the software, please share your thought. I would like to buy it if it is helpfull.

Thank you,

I used the demo version and I'm not at all imoressed. If you use the "enrichment" tool, it will certainly distor the actual meaning of your sentence. Writing is still an art rather than a science.

I looked at the demo. It doesn't really do anything that you can't already do in Word.

I'm always worried about 'machine writing'. I know that Word makes enough daft suggestions and just look at the garbage the automatic translators churn out. A piece of software is not as good at writing as a human being.

I just looked at this today too. I agree with Nona. I suspect if you took all of this program's suggestions, your writing would end up looking ridiculous.
