TECHNICAL WRITING

TECHNICAL WRITING
is any form of writing or
drafting technical
communication, used in a
variety of fields.
TECHNICAL WRITING
is performed by a technical
writer and is the process of
writing and sharing
information in a professional.
FIVE TRAITS OF TECHNICAL WRITING
• CLARITY
• CONCISENESS
• ACCESSIBILITY
• AUDIENCE RECOGNITION
• ACCURACY
CLARITY
It is the most important criteria in
technical writing.
CONCISENESS
Good technical writing is concise. It is a
tool for the readers to use to
accomplish whatever job they are
doing. In contrast to traditional essays,
effective technical writing uses short
words and short sentences.
ACCESSIBILITY
Means the ease of which the readers
can locate the information they seek. To

Increase accessibility, include headings,

lists of reports or a table of content.
AUDIENCE RECOGNITION
This aspect is based around the audience,
and how well they understand the writing. If
your audience can’t understand your writing
, then there will be no way to adapt to your
own writing . Meaning that if you have
writing that the audience can’t understand,
than your writing looks bad and nobody will
read it.
ACCURACY
Refers to the truthfulness and the
variety of given statement. It basically
refers to “ getting the facts straight”.
For example it is inaccurate to say an
NFL football field is 50 yards when it is
in fact 100 yards.
