"The real secret behind WhiteSmoke's technologies is our user base. Our users give us constant feedback, and a very wide variety of texts for analysis - without this interaction, our algorithms would not be so advanced," said, Liran Brenner, vice president, R&D, WhiteSmoke.

“WhiteSmoke's writing technologies level the playing field, allowing English as a second language speakers, and those of us who simply need a good editor for our writing, to confidently write error-free texts,” he added.
