Manuscript Reports
The Reports page reads your entire book and shows you what you actually wrote: the words you lean on and where they echo, clichés, sentence rhythm and variety, how much of the book is dialogue, readability, adverbs and possible passives, a pacing curve along the story, point-of-view balance, and where every character and place appears — or quietly vanishes.
Every figure is measured from your text, not generated. No AI is involved, no internet is required, and nothing leaves your machine. A full novel analyzes in under a second, automatically, the moment you open the page.
Reading a report#
- Open the book and go to Reports.
- Each report shows a chart, a plain-English summary, and a rating.
- Click any occurrence to jump to that exact spot in the scene.
Reports describe; they don’t prescribe. A high adverb count in a voicey first-person narrator might be the voice. The reports exist so the choice is yours to make knowingly.
Your own rules#
Give Reports a house-style list — the words and phrases you’ve promised yourself to stop using — and every run counts them, down to the happy zero.
- On the Reports page, open the watch-list settings.
- Add a word or phrase per line.
- Re-run: your list gets its own report with click-throughs.
Comparing over time#
Runs are remembered with the manuscript state they measured, so after a revision pass you can see the numbers move. The occurrence lists always reflect your current text — they’re recomputed live, never stale.
