Smart Hyphen

Smart Hyphen is an awesome tool that brings top-notch hyphenation features right into Adobe InDesign and InCopy. It also adds a bunch of languages to the mix, which is super handy!

Why Good Hyphenation Matters

Getting your hyphenation right really boosts the look of your publication. It helps with white space and makes sure the text flows nicely on the page. With a solid hyphenator like Smart Hyphen, you can speed up your work, cut down on proofing rounds, and keep your messaging consistent.

The Tech Behind Smart Hyphen

This tool uses advanced hyphenation tech from TALŌ, a leader in language tools for publishing pros. It applies smart linguistic rules specific to each language. This means it understands language almost like a person would, ensuring accurate hyphenation—even with tricky compound words! Plus, new words get hyphenated correctly too, which is great for magazines and newspapers that often have to deal with fresh terms.

Supports More Languages

One of the best parts? Smart Hyphen supports lots of languages that Adobe apps don't cover. Without it, you'd either skip hyphenating or pick a close but not quite right option—neither are great solutions! Within a single language, Smart Hyphen can even provide different styles to match your preferences.

Consistency Across Your Team

If you're in a bigger team where editors and designers are working separately on the same project, having consistent hyphenation is key. Smart Hyphen makes this easy to achieve across your company. You can save exceptions too—either for yourself or for everyone in the organization.

A Must-Have Plugin

Overall, Smart Hyphen CS3 is an essential plugin that really boosts what Adobe InDesign can do!
