Word comparison
Full document model traversal — headers, footers, footnotes, content controls, tracked changes. Not just body text.
Features
Six modules. One security posture.
Each module addresses a specific document workflow problem. All share the same architecture: VSTO add-in for Office integration, .NET 10 engine for heavy processing, and zero network dependency.
Phase 1
WyseWord Compare
Document comparison that produces legally defensible, deterministic redlines.
PDF-to-Word
Compare a PDF against a Word document. OCR scanned PDFs locally via Tesseract — no cloud OCR service.
Excel comparison
Cell-by-cell, formula-level, and structure comparison across workbooks.
PowerPoint comparison
Slide-by-slide visual and content comparison with change highlighting.
Deterministic output
Same two inputs produce byte-identical results. Always. Required for legal defensibility.
Standalone viewer
WPF-based comparison viewer that works without Office installed — for reviewers who only need to read redlines.
Phase 1
WyseWord Tabs
Multi-document tabbed interface for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Tabbed documents
Switch between open documents without alt-tabbing through the taskbar. Tabs appear in the Office window.
Side-by-side view
View two documents simultaneously within the same application window.
Native window management
Uses Win32 window manipulation under the hood — not a JavaScript overlay.
Phase 2
WyseWord Clean
Formatting repair and document hygiene for Word.
Style normalization
Fix inconsistent heading levels, font sizes, and paragraph spacing across a document.
Metadata removal
Strip hidden metadata, comments, tracked changes, and personal information before distribution.
Document preparation
Prepare documents for external sharing — clean, consistent, and free of internal artifacts.
Phase 2 & 3
WyseWord Sheet & Audit
Excel utilities for formula tracing, error detection, and workbook auditing.
Formula tracing
Trace precedents and dependents across sheets and workbooks. Visualize calculation chains.
Error detection
Find circular references, broken links, and #REF errors across complex multi-sheet models.
Data validation
Verify data integrity, check for inconsistencies, and audit linked workbook structures.
Security architecture
What makes WyseWord different.
Network behavior
Exactly two outbound connections
Update check (`updates.wyseword.com/manifest.json`) and online activation (`license.wyseword.com/activate`). Both optional. Both disableable by Group Policy. Nothing else. No CDN, no fonts, no analytics, no telemetry, no AI service.
Supply chain
Auditable from top to bottom
CycloneDX SBOM generated per build. Permissive licenses only (MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD). CI gate fails on non-allowlisted licenses. EV code-signed. Dependency pinning with lockfile committed. Vulnerability scanning in CI.
Compatibility
Supported environments.
Operating systems
Windows 10 22H2+, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019+ (RDS/Citrix). x64 and ARM64.
Office versions
Microsoft 365 Apps (Current, Monthly Enterprise, Semi-Annual), Office 2019, 2021, 2024. 32-bit and 64-bit.
Deployment
Per-machine (admin) or per-user install. MSI via WiX. ADMX/ADML templates for Group Policy. SCCM and Intune compatible.
