What Tensetti Plain Language Checker is

Tensetti Plain Language Checker is a web tool for spotting clarity issues in technical documents. The product description calls it ClearSpec and says it runs 22 checks across action clarity, sentence structure, terminology, safety language, and consistency. The maker says its rules are deterministic, so identical inputs produce identical output. The free checker analyzes pasted text locally in the browser using a Web Worker; it says text is not sent to the server, analytics, or logs. Free use requires no account and accepts up to 1,000 words, displaying the first ten findings. The checker reports issues and editing actions, but does not rewrite text or determine whether safety content is safe. Pro costs €120 a year and adds larger local documents, all findings, a personal termbase, local opening of TXT, Markdown, and DOCX files, and PDF and CSV report export. DOCX parsing does not interpret layout, images, tables, or cross-references. Team costs €349 a year and adds five users, a shared termbase and style profile, approved exceptions, batch queue, and review history.
