Errata.ai is a specialized software publisher focused on elevating the quality of written prose through automated linguistic analysis. Its flagship product, Vale, functions as a syntax-aware linter that brings the rigor of code-quality tools to documentation, marketing copy, technical writing, and any other text-centric workflow. Designed for speed and extensibility, Vale parses plain text, Markdown, AsciiDoc, XML, and source-code comments to enforce house style rules, terminology consistency, readability metrics, and inclusive-language guidelines. Writers, editors, and CI/CD pipelines invoke the open-source engine from the command line or integrate it into Visual Studio Code, JetBrains IDEs, GitHub Actions, and other environments; instant inline feedback underlines violations just as a spell-checker would, while detailed reports give publication teams a dashboard view of tone, grade level, and error density. Organizations customize Vale by loading curated style packages—Google Developer, Microsoft Writing, or Proselint among them—or by declaring their own regex, existence, substitution, and capitalization rules in compact YAML files. The result is scalable editorial governance: pull requests fail when a release note grows too complex, blog drafts flag deprecated product names, and API documentation warns of passive voice before it reaches readers. Vale’s server-grade performance lets it scan thousands of files in seconds, making large-repo linting as frictionless as unit testing. Errata.ai’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installing the latest release and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
A syntax-aware linter for prose built with speed and extensibility in mind.
