SUMMARY:

This master's research aimed to undertake an investigation, not yet done in previous studies, about the activities of the writer-proofreader-technician in Software Documentation of companies in the Information Technology (IT) sector, specialized in data processing and systems solutions. This text professional works with the manualization of technical documents in the process of revision and retextualization, transforming software documentation into the textual genre technical manual, which describes the usability of the system for its end user. In this sense, the basis of my corpus of analysis were the technical manuals of three IT companies and their respective software documents that served as the basis for the production of these manuals. The methodology adopted was documentary, of content analysis, in which I tried to analyze the textual changes that occurred in the process of revision and technical writing, by comparing the base texts with the manuals produced. To achieve the objective of this research, which was to investigate the role of the writer-proofreader-technician in the translation of technical language, manualization and revision of software documents, I sought theoretical support, especially in Marcuschi (2001), Oliveira (2010), Matencio (2022), Galvão (2003), Gales (2020), Rocha (2022) and Van Dijk (1997).  The studies showed that the writer-proofreader-technician is a technical communicator who has a fundamental role in the creation of software manuals, acting as a mediator between the software developer and the end user of the system.
