Steve,
I have a couple of clients using Maxit by SMART Software. We understand
that the SMART Maxit Checker is fully integrated into FM 7.2 by the FDK.
Consequently, the tool allows edit-in-place, runs very quickly and is
easy to use.
SMART offers a free QuickLook on a few pages to show the results in
their FM Viewing tool. SMART offers evaluation copies, but only if you
ask for them. (You won't find a "free download" on the web page.) A
good grammar checker for Simplified English or Controlled English
requires a custom dictionary, hence the evals need some dictionary
adjustment for each domain. Take a look at http://www.smartny.com
