Typefi Systems, a global leader in automated publishing software for long documents, has announced the immediate availability of Typefi Orion, a Microsoft Word-based XML editorial software for scholarly publishers which is a replacement for Inera eXtyles. Typefi Orion offers a familiar user experience and feature set that matches the needs of current eXtyles users, along with some major advantages.
It has been just over a year since Inera announced it would sunset eXtyles in August 2026. Typefi has been busy in that time—our seamless replacement for eXtyles, called Typefi Orion, is now just a few months away from launch! In this interview with Caleb Clauset, Typefi VP Product, you’ll learn all about what Typefi Orion is, how it compares to eXtyles, and what to expect from Orion version 1.0 when it launches at the end of 2025.
Typefi is proud to announce a new partnership with RecoSoft, a leading provider of software solutions to convert files between Adobe and Microsoft applications. With this partnership, Typefi users can export complete InDesign spreads directly to PowerPoint from within Typefi workflows.
XML is a standardised markup language commonly used by technical writers to create structured content. XML is also useful when it comes to automating time-consuming tasks and processes—like pagination—in publishing. If you’re new to XML, check out this article to learn what XML and DITA are, and the benefits of XML web authoring.
Typefi has partnered with Fonto & Syncro Soft to offer XML web authoring integrations as part of your automated publishing workflows. Now, authors can edit any DITA XML file directly from their Typefi Server interface.
Typefi users can now license the DeltaXML compare action to their Typefi workflows to output .INDD or PDF files with clear, visual highlights showing XML content additions and/or removals.
With the release of Typefi Writer 8.7.1 (64-bit edition), we’ve added new features designed to help save you time and boost efficiency while authoring in Microsoft Word. One of the biggest additions is missing link alerts prior to a job being sent, as part of the preflight document process in Microsoft Word.
Every Typefi customer can now access my.typefi.com to quickly view the support stats for their organisation. Sign in with the same credentials that you would use to access Typefi Support, and use the information from My Typefi to self-manage your support better, thanks to improved data transparency.
For the 8.7.1 release of Typefi Writer 64-bit edition, we wanted to improve the experience of working with missing links. Now if you have ‘Preflight document before publishing’ checked, we will warn you if we cannot resolve the paths to place the assets. Learn more in this short video.
