Technical writing is the writing of technical content, particularly relating to industrial and other applied sciences, with an emphasis on occupational contexts.[1] The range of audiences for technical writing varies widely. In some cases, it is directed to people with specialized knowledge, such as experts or technicians.[2] In other situations, technical writers help convey complex scientific or niche subjects to end users who need a basic understanding of a concept rather than a full explanation of a subject.[3] Technical writing is the largest part of technical communication.[4]
Examples of fields requiring technical writing include computer hardware and software, architecture, engineering, chemistry, aeronautics, robotics, finance, medical, consumer electronics, biotechnology, and forestry.
