To answer the question self-referentially, a technical writer is a person who writes technical documents, from articles for medical journals to project specifications for machinery. Many are employed in the software industry. There are no globally recognized certifications for technical communication (as, for instance, Microsoft Novell , and other companies offer to programmers and other information technology professionals), technical writers generally have college degrees in English or Communication, or they may have education in the fields in which they write. What can a technical writer do? Technical writers can describe how something works, or how to use it, in a way that is easily understood. In addition to knowing how to use good document organization skills, technical writers analyze the target audience for a document, and write accordingly. For instance, a medical journal article may use highly technical medical jargon, assuming that the target audience physicians undertand medical terminology. On the other hand, the online Help accompanying a tax program marketed to individual return filers would not assume knowledge of accounting jargon. Depending on the results of audience analysis, the online Help may not even assume knowledge of basic tasks performed on a computer, such as opening files and closing windows.
