Technical Writing

Technical writing is communication, the primary aim of which is to convey a particular piece of information to a particular audience for a particular purpose. It is often exposition about scientific subjects, and various technical subjects associated with sciences.

Technical writing is "translating technical ideas into words a specific audience will understand." Audience analysis is thus a key feature of all technical writing.

Technical writing is "a translation of complex technical concepts into simple language intended to enable a specific user to perform a specific task in a specific way".
