ANNOSYNC: one toolchain from annotation to finished book

From one late night to a whole production line

A 600-page translation, nearly 500 annotations: highlighted typos, struck-out surplus sentences, sticky notes that read "move this paragraph to Chapter Three". When the last one was finally done, dawn was breaking outside — and fewer than ten of them had actually needed a professional's judgment.

Where did the evening go? Searching, comparing, copying, pasting.The work that took all night was exactly the work that needed no judgment at all. Our flagship, AnnoSync desktop, exists for that: the engine does the mechanical searching, comparing and rewriting, and you stay in charge of the places that need a real editorial eye.

Applying annotations is only the first half of the job. Before a book is finished, ruby, tables, charts, mind maps and Word imports repeat the same way — which is where the ID tools come from: five of them do batch work on InDesign pages, one rebuilds a PDF as an editable Word file. Two halves of one production line, covered by one line of tools.
