AP’s style-checking tools, AP Lingofy and AP StyleGuard, are merging into a single solution called AP StyleGuard Pro. The developers at Tansa, experts in proofing tools, have powered Lingofy and StyleGuard for years, and this merger combines the best features of both platforms to offer you an enhanced experience. 


If you already subscribe to AP Lingofy, you can upgrade to the new AP StyleGuard Pro at no additional charge.

 

Among the features of the new AP StyleGuard Pro:

Collaborate with colleagues

StyleGuard takes customization to the next level. Not only can you create and update your custom dictionaries, but you can also share them with your editing colleagues. This collaborative feature allows you to maintain consistency and alignment in editing with any team member using StyleGuard on any platform.

 

Create and update custom rules

With the new StyleGuard Pro, you can continue to create and update your own spelling and style rules, as you did in the Lingofy Manager. Tailor your editing experience to match your unique preferences and requirements, ensuring that your documents always meet your standards. You can build numerous dictionaries to address, terminology, different styles and proper names.

 

Work across multiple applications

StyleGuard is your all-in-one solution for working across multiple programs with ease. The custom entries you create are seamlessly integrated, ensuring personalized editing guidance no matter where you work. Whether you're using Microsoft Word, Outlook or PowerPoint, or working in web-based editors such as Google Docs, StyleGuard provides consistent editing support across all platforms, allowing you to maintain your unique style across all the applications where you have style-checking tools installed.

 

To take advantage of these improvements, log into the StyleGuard Manager, where you'll find easy-to-follow guides on setting up your custom rules, how to share them with colleagues and how to install and use StyleGuard Pro with your preferred browser.

 

Your current Lingofy username and password will follow you to StyleGuard Pro.
