Overview Technology Problems:
There are too many potential solutions
Technical information is readily available, but it’s hard to prioritize what’s most important
Suggested Approaches
Determine what is available and focus on what’s most interesting, most impactful, and most relevant
Whenever possible, use real-world, proven practices
Identify problems and look for ways to improve current processes
General Technology Tips
Focus on the application of technology and any barriers to implementation
Increase the breadth and depth of your knowledge; Don’t focus on just the bare minimum
Technical knowledge and capabilities will make you more marketable and less dispensable Anil Desai: Tech for Editors 3<br>

General Approach / Advice The focus of this presentation is on what can be done using the latest available technical features
Your job is to determine whether, when, and how they might apply to you
If so, there are many resources for more information (links in this presentation)
Feel free to e-mail me: Anil@AnilDesai.net
Don’t try to memorize anything now – instead, focus on the concepts
All of the details are available in various places
Example: Microsoft Word Keyboard Shortcuts
Change can be difficult and challenging, but that means it’s worthwhile
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, that’s fine! That’s how you can benefit most.
“That’s not my job!” (but it could be!)
Takeaway: Ideas you like (and want to research further)

Microsoft Word Editor The Goal: Powerful and useful Grammar, Spelling, and Syntax checking
The Problem
Static rules are so inconsistent and error-prone that many people ignored them altogether
Language changes quickly and organically
Some major issues are not technically grammatical “errors”
Concise wording
Overuse of Cliché Phrases
Education issues: People ain’t no good at talking American
Solution:
Using Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms
Teach writers how and why they should make a change
Enforce preferred styles (e.g., active vs. passive voice)
