This software enables text edits within Adobe InDesign files.
If you're looking for a powerful software to round-trip text out of an Adobe InDesign document, perform text changes without needing InDesign or Adobe InCopy, and flow it back into the layout with text edits applied, then StoryTweaker might be the tool you need. With this software, you can easily allow translators to translate content or proofreaders to make text corrections with minimal loss of formatting and text placement.
One of the standout features of StoryTweaker is the clear delineation of responsibilities. The software allows only text content changes, so no new text styles can be created and no layout changes can be made. Designers still retain the responsibility of making layout changes. Using the included AssignmentTweaker application, users can edit only the text content. The software also supports multiple versions of a single document, allowing concurrent tweaking by multiple translators, resulting in multiple translated versions of the same document. Different parts of a document can also be tweaked by different users, such as proofreaders.
The StoryTweaker workflow starts by taking an InDesign document and ends with a modified copy of the document. The original document is protected against inadvertent modification by being frozen and placed into a special folder called the Tweak Set. From the Tweak Set, one or more Assignments are created and sent to anyone who needs to tweak the text in the document. Each assignment includes a copy of AssignmentTweaker to allow the user to make text changes.
When the assignment is finished, such as by completing a translation or text correction, it can be imported back into the Tweak Set. Finally, users can extract tweaked versions of the original document from the Tweak Set. Overall, StoryTweaker is an exceptional software tool that can streamline the text editing process and make it easier for designers, proofreaders, and translators to collaborate effectively.
