Scholarly is moving to Sheffield!

Scholary has been accepted as part of the summer cohort of the dotforge accelerator.

For the next 13 weeks we are going to give everything to make Scholarly happen.

Scholarly is born!

Our mission is to give everyone the power to write better, faster. We doing this by developing software for computer-assisted authoring of documents, bringing Natural Language Technology to market to provide automated proofreading and assistance much beyond grammar and spelling. 

In our collective history, we have gone from hammer and chisel to papyrus, from printing press to typewriter and from there to computers, which now automatically check your spelling, punctuation, grammar, and to a certain degree, style. Why don’t they also check your structure? Why don’t they tell you “it’s a very clever thing you’re saying there, but somebody said something similar before, look, here’s a reference”, or “that paragraph has five different ideas in it, you might want to split it up, like this”? How about, “you need to get rid of 2000 words, so I suggest you cut this, this and this”?

The technology to deliver this is mostly available and ready for prime time. 

Writing is an act of communication, and communication is perhaps the most human of traits. We aim to use the technological know-how and wealth of knowledge resources of an increasingly interconnected world to augment the human capacity for written communication. We want to help everyone write better, faster.
