Not a week ago, I found myself working with my original draft of a document and with two additional copies from friends with their many suggestions and comments. I found myself working with three open windows, cutting and pasting everything together into a finished draft for final approval. The task was bothersome and tedious. I wish had known about TextFlow.
TextFlow is a brand-new online application, still in beta development, that allows one to load each individual “version” of a draft, and it will parse all three and yield a single document highlighting the changes from different commentators. The developers call it “parallel word processing.” Microsoft has a somewhat similar function, but it is nowhere as graphically clear as TextFlow.
This software went public only at the end of November, offered by Nordic River, a 6-person company in Sweden. One can already sign up for an account and test the beta version. It’s fully functional, but one cannot yet store documents at the site. No word yet about eventual cost of the application and storage of documents on their server.
The application homepage offers a convincing one-minute video demo. For a fuller, hands-on review, check the review at PC World. The application’s website also makes it easy to click over to a handful of other reviews by the top techie magazines.
