Press Release Summary = The Berlin-Based company's latest software solution will
assure quality and cut costs in the aerospace industry and beyond

Press Release Body = Berlin, Germany. May 7, 2007. Acrolinx GmbH, the worldwide
leading producer of quality assurance tools for technical information, has received
compliance for its Simplified Technical English checker from ASD, the AeroSpace and
Defence Industries Association of Europe. Customers who require standard ASD
Simplified Technical English, especially in the aerospace industry, can now benefit
from the market leading solution for information quality assurance. The Acrolinx
solution helps customers save costs and dramatically increase efficiency by
encouraging reuse. Standardizing documents and enhancing their quality will also
minimize the risk of safety, damage, or liability claims.

Acrolinx draws on its years of experience as the market leader in authoring support
and terminology lifecycle management as the basis for its ASD-STE checker. Its
language solution, AcrocheckT, offers high-profile companies a rounded approach to
checking spelling, grammar, and style. Unlike plug-in solutions, it also manages
terminology and provides users with standard sentences for Intelligent ReuseT. The
Acrolinx ASD-STE checker is based on these functionalities, which have already been
tested in practical contexts. It can therefore be integrated smoothly into the
AcrocheckT tool. Customers can also choose between different modules of the product,
ranging from ASD-STE to less restrictive style rules.

"We are excited that this new functionality promises to help us more confidently
address the needs of the aerospace domain," said Andrew Bredenkamp, CEO of Acrolinx.
"AcrocheckT's flexibility facilitates the implementation of Simplified Technical
English. Our tool can thus support customers in ensuring the consistency of their
documents by using controlled English as a basis."

"Since it is built in to our existing solution as another type of language standard,
our STE checker is much more than a plug-in," Bredenkamp added.

"The server-based style, grammar, and terminology functionalities as well as
enterprise-standard metrics and reporting, that make AcrocheckT so popular make our
Simplified English checker unique on the market."

The Brazilian aerospace manufacturer Embraer, one of the largest commercial aircraft
producers in the world, has recently decided to deploy Acrolinx's ASD-STE checker.

Simplified Technical English was developed within the aerospace industry to help
make English-language documentation more easily comprehensible for a multinational
audience. Non-aerospace industries have adopted the guidelines of the AeroSpace and
Defence Industries Association of Europe Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE) in
their own documentation. ASD-STE 100 is a set of Writing Rules and a Dictionary of
Controlled Vocabulary. The Dictionary includes a vocabulary selected for its clarity
and sufficient for expressing any technical sentence.
