Text Verification Tool

TVT, the Text Verification Tool, is a computer-based software program for proofreading developed by Schlafender Hase GmbH, headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. It is designed on the GAMP5 standards of the global pharmaceutical industry for consistency and accuracy in product information and documentation. Originally developed for highly regulated environments, it makes sure that text and graphic contents of a finalized document are identical with the original document, regardless of file size, layout or format.
Since its launch in 2003, TVT has gone through numerous updates and supports all major languages of the world, whether left to right or right to left, also including Braille, and the Korean HWP format. It is capable of comparing multiple files in different file types simultaneously. File types supported include Word (DOC, DOCx, RTF), PDF, Excel, TXT, AI, HWP (Hangul) and XML (SPL files required by the Food and Drug Administration in the USA). TVT also supports the QRD template (European Medicines Agency ) and the exception list of the ANSM.
How it works
TVT does not compare the words seen on the monitor but rather the unicodes that generate the words seen. It compares, for example, the original manuscript with the artwork to be printed, or any two or more documents, and indicates all deviations in text and graphic content between the compared documents. Deviations are clearly marked and include, among others, deviations in spelling, font, formatting, style, type size, order of words and paragraphs, and missing text and graphics. TVT uses the Adobe PDF library for processing PDF documents. Deviations and corrections can be saved as a PDF. A detailed PDF report documents all comments and changes during the proofreading process.
Who uses it
TVT is mainly used highly regulated global pharmaceutical industry and FMCG industry.
