Abstract

This report describes how to implement the Computer Readability Editing System (CRES). As described in a previous TAEG report (No. 83), the CRES is a writer's aid to improve the apprehensibility of technical manuals and training materials. It contains features to (1) flag uncommon words and long sentences, (2) suggest replacements for awkward words and phrases, and (3) calculate the readability grade level. The CRES is now being implemented as part of computer-based publishing systems. This report contains the computer program flow charts described in that program, a user's guide, and a programmer's guide to help potential users. This report is intended to be a companion document to TAEG Report No. 83, Development and Test of A Computer Readability Editing System (CRES).
