Stilus is a Software as a Service product for the spelling, grammar and style checking of texts in Spanish.

Stilus is a brand by Daedalus, S.A.

Stilus enables to check the spelling and style of texts, according to the user’s linguistic preferences and using any computer equipped with a standard browser or Microsoft Word.

Functionality
Stilus is not a conventional checker based on surface analysis of text, but a context-sensitive checker that features an extended lexical base. This makes it possible to detect real errors with a high level of precision and within different linguistic levels, such as spelling, grammar or style. Moreover, Stilus does not correct errors in the text automatically, but detects and revises them, offering alternatives and providing illustrative explanations supported by references. This way, the user decides whether or not to correct, as he always has control over the revision.

Access modes
All of Stilus functions are accessible from any computer equipped with an Internet connection and a standard browser. Moreover, Stilus add-in for Microsoft Word enables Word users to revise their texts with a higher level of precision without leaving their favorite word processor.

Customization and linguistic tools
Stilus allows the user to set a permanent default configuration or change it at any moment for customizing the revision according to style, subject (dictionaries of science, economy...) or language variants. It also allows to choose the language of the user interface (Spanish or English), or create a user dictionary that can be edited (only available in Stilus for Word).

Along with an automated proofreader, Stilus includes a family of linguistic resources that configure an environment for learning, playing and experimenting with language: morphosyntactic analyzer, verb conjugator, letter game, reverse dictionary…
