Smart Suite 2.0 Released - A New Approach to Pre-editing, Copyediting, Production, and Content Delivery

Smart Suite Version 2.0 is a cloud-based ecosystem of publishing tools that streamlines the production of high-quality content. The system has a complete interface (UI) redesign and tighter integration with high-speed production engines to solve the challenges related to multi-channel publishing.

Smart Suite 2.0 is the next generation publishing engine that focuses on a combination of artificial intelligence, including NLP, and system intelligence that eliminates human intervention and achieves the goal of high-speed publishing with editorial excellence. Smart Suite auto generates multiple outputs, including PDF, XML, HTML, EPUB, and MOBI from a manuscript in record-setting time.
— Francis Xavier, VP of Operations at Cenveo Publisher Services

Offering a fresh approach to streamline production, the unified toolset comprises four modules that seamlessly advance content through publishing workflows while validating and maintaining mark-up language behind the scenes.

  • Smart Edit is a pre-edit, copyedit, and conversion tool that incorporates natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) to benefit publishers not only in terms of editorial quality but also better, faster markup and delivery to output channels.

  • Smart Compose is a fully automated production engine that ingests structured output from Smart Edit and generates page proofs. Designed to work with both 3B2 and InDesign, built-in styles based on publisher specifications guarantee consistent, high-quality layouts.

  • Smart Proof provides authors and editors with a browser-based correction tool that captures changes and allows for valid round tripping of XML.

  • Smart Track brings everything together in one easy UI that logs content transactions. The kanban-styled UI presents a familiar workflow overview with drill-down capabilities that track issues and improve both system and individual performance.

Smart Suite is fully configurable for specific publisher requirements and content types. Customized data such as taxonomic dictionaries, and industry integrations such as FundRef, GenBank, and ORCID, enhance the system based on publisher requirements.
