What Lingofy is
Lingofy is a proofing and style tool that checks writing against dictionaries, published references, and custom rules. Its Manager lets users create, organize, and share custom entries alongside references such as AP style. The proofing tool can flag inconsistent names, products, or titles and suggest clearer wording. Its AP offering combines AP Stylebook entries with Webster’s New World College Dictionary, Fifth Edition. The Plain Language guide draws on U.S. government guidelines to suggest usage, synonyms, and sentence-structure changes. Supported applications include Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Word, Outlook, and PowerPoint; Lingofy also says its API can integrate its proofing tools into content management systems.
