StyleScorer is an innovative technology that provides linguistic style analysis as part of the Welocalize weMT suite of language automation tools. By comparing a single test document to a set of two or more training documents, StyleScorer evaluates how closely they match in terms of writing style.

4. Style Can be Formally Defined in a Style Guide That Authors & Translators are
Requested to Adhere to
(But it Doesn’t Have to Be)
Style is a Consistency of Voice Across Multiple Documents
Style Tells us Something About the Authors
Style Reflects Patterns of Conscious Grammatical and lexical Choices
Style caters to the Audience’s needs if you get it right
For the Purposes of StyleScorer, the Documents Define the Style,
Rather than the Style Defining the Documents – let the data decide
