Technical Writing Tipsby Diana Barnum Send Feedback to Diana Barnum technical writing tipsMore Details about technical writing tips here.
To help keep technical translation plain and simple, here are some tips:
- Plan ahead. Determine the main focus, i.e. what the readers need to learn from your content. Ask yourself, what are their expectations from the article? - Take care to match your content to the level of knowledge of the audience. Don’t underestimate your audience and write down to them. But do watch the level of your tec-speak. - Ask someone to proof read your material who represents the reading audience.
- Add a glossary if necessary for your technical terms. Or place short explanations of the terms in brackets within the piece.
- When possible, incorporate examples and illustrations to get your points across. - If your data is complicated use graphs, diagrams and / or flow charts to make it visually expressive.
- Experiment with different software to enhance your presentations. For example, add audio / video.
There are excellent technical writing books out there. Check with your local public library for some and on Amazon.com. And broaden the scope of your projects with good technical writing skills.
