Simplified Technical English
The main objective of a controlled language is to make technical text easy to understand.
Simplified Technical English standardizes vocabulary and style, aiming to improve consistency, eliminate ambiguity and reduce complexity. A controlled language also provides objective criteria for quality control. Simplified Technical English includes a general dictionary and a set of writing rules. In addition to the general vocabulary, companies can define their own Technical Names (terminology).
We have created a separate site to inform you about Simplified Technical English and our related services, including HyperSTE, the leading checker software for compliance and quality assurance.
