Highlight undefined jargon and acronyms
River's Jargon and Acronym Highlighter identifies undefined technical terms and acronyms in your documentation. The AI highlights terms that may confuse readers and adds comments suggesting where definitions are needed. Perfect for making technical documentation accessible to broader audiences.
Unlike spell checkers, we focus on clarity. The AI understands which terms need explanation, identifies undefined acronyms, and helps ensure documentation is readable by your target audience.
This tool is perfect for technical writers improving clarity, documentation teams ensuring accessibility, product managers communicating with non-technical stakeholders, and teams writing for diverse audiences.
Writing Clear Technical Documentation
Good technical documentation defines acronyms on first use and explains jargon for the target audience. What's obvious to developers may confuse other readers. Define terms, use clear language, and make documentation accessible to everyone who needs it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it decide what needs defining?
The AI considers context and likely audience. Technical terms used without introduction or explanation get flagged. Common acronyms (API, HTTP) might not be flagged depending on audience. Context matters.
Should I define everything it highlights?
Consider your audience. Writing for developers? They know JWT. Writing for product managers? Define it. Use your judgment about what your specific readers need explained.
What about industry-standard terms?
Even standard terms benefit from brief definitions for readers outside the industry. Links to resources work well. Don't assume knowledge. Define more rather than less.
