Want to give input on proofing tools? Participate in the Proofing Tools Survey!

We are currently running a survey on how users edit and review content and how they use proofing tools such as the spell checker, the grammar checker or the thesaurus in Microsoft Office. We want to learn more about user preferences so we can improve the user experience in some future version of Office. The survey takes about 15 minutes. If you are interested in participating please go to

https://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/FX100649251033.aspx

and look for the "Help us make Word Better!"  field in the lower section of the page. Click "Start the Survey" in order to participate.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!

    Hi--I just completed the survey--you're right, it's not terribly long.   I was surprised that there was no question about people's interest in providing more input (via future surveys or some type of wiki, community approach to creating or reviewing tools like spell checkers--particularly in languages that don't currently have them). Thanks for the chance to provide input. Regards, Julie

    Stefanie-- quick question. can you guys give us any sense of how much (if at all) parsing performance has improved in office 2010?  The last comparison I'm aware of was from ~2005, was done by people at MSR, and showed that nlpwin performed significantly (~10% points) below Charniak's parser on both precision and recall.  Have y'all been able to narrow the gap? Thanks for your time.
