I ‘raked’ a 25-page operating agreement in 30 seconds, resulting in 60 insertions and 140 deletions. WordRake is perfect for anyone who wants their writing to be less verbose and more persuasive.

I searched for a comparable editing program, but I couldn’t find anything like it. WordRake should become a staple in any government agency.

I have been using WordRake for at least four years. I use it for all my writing. It is not a grammar check like Word has. It helps you tighten up your text and presents better ways to say what you want. It is amazing. For $149 a year, you won’t believe how good it makes you look.
