Features
Every report one scan runs, and everything it hands back.
One pass over your manuscript builds all 32 reports: the people, places, factions and invented vocabulary inside the book; where each one arrives and is last seen; where the book disagrees with itself and with the rest of your series; the shape of it measured against published novels; and the documents you hand on afterwards. Each has its own page, covering what it looks for and where it stops.
32 reports. One pass over your manuscript.
The full suite, from the glossary generator and the world directories to the series check and the documents you hand on. Everything included in a single scan, with no plugin and no Microsoft Word.

Upload the manuscript
Multi-format upload
Works with the manuscript you already have: .docx, .epub, .rtf, or .txt, up to 20MB, no converting first.
Learn more →Manuscript structure
Finds your chapters across Word styles, EPUB files and plain text, and brackets the story between the front and back matter, so reports say chapter nine rather than 62%.
Learn more →Map the book
Rule-based extraction
Pattern-matching, checked against two dictionaries, surfaces every invented name, place, and concept. No AI involved.
Learn more →Detection pattern controls
Toggle bold/italic, quoted phrases, numbers, hyphenation or sentence-start words, set a word-length range, and add up to three include and three exclude patterns.
Learn more →First appearance index
Every term sorted by where it first appears, with the sentence a reader actually meets it in - so the order your world is taught is in front of you.
Learn more →Defined terms
Terms your own prose already explains, each shown with the sentence the scan found doing the explaining - the exact mirror of the unexplained list.
Learn more →Character directory
Terms that behave like people. They speak, they are addressed by title, and things belong to them. Sorted out of the glossary automatically.
Learn more →Place index
Terms that behave like locations. You can be in them, travel through them, or they carry a place word in their name.
Learn more →Organisations & factions
The orders, fleets, houses, guilds and peoples your world organises itself around, separated from its individuals and its places.
Learn more →Magic & technology index
Devices, systems, materials and magical disciplines, the invented machinery your story runs on, listed apart from its people and places.
Learn more →Cast report
Groups every named character by the chapter the reader first meets them, splits the cast by how often each one is mentioned, and places both against the published novels in our benchmark.
Learn more →World-building density
How thickly invented vocabulary falls across the manuscript, from first page to last - the shape of the book, measured rather than remembered.
Learn more →Benchmark comparison
Your own figures placed against published novels scanned the same way, so a count you cannot interpret becomes a position you can act on.
Learn more →Report overview
Six counts of what needs reviewing, the shape of the book, and every report the scan produced with its own total beside it.
Learn more →Check the book
Suggested definitions
Scores your own sentences for definitional patterns and surfaces the best match for each term.
Learn more →Duplicate & alias checker
Fuzzy-matching flags near-identical names so drift never reaches print.
Learn more →Mention heat map
A density grid of any term's mentions across the manuscript, with co-occurrence spotting.
Learn more →Unexplained terms
Terms your manuscript uses repeatedly as though they were already understood, with no sentence anywhere that explains what they are.
Learn more →One-off terms
Every term the manuscript uses exactly once. Some are deliberate colour; the rest are threads you cut, or spellings that got away from the others.
Learn more →Capitalisation checker
Terms your manuscript writes with a capital in some places and without one in others, with a count for each spelling so you can see which one you meant.
Learn more →Hyphenation checker
Compounds your manuscript writes hyphenated in one chapter, joined in another and spaced in a third, with the count for each form.
Learn more →Spelling standard
Counts British against American spellings across the whole manuscript, names the standard your book mostly keeps, and lists every word spelled the other way with the chapter it sits in.
Learn more →Typography check
Straight quotation marks against curly, two hyphens standing in for a dash, three full stops standing in for an ellipsis, stray double spaces, and paragraphs whose quotation marks do not pair up.
Learn more →House style
Counts Thomas's against Thomas', Mr against Mr., among against amongst, while against whilst, toward against towards and the two ways of writing a trailing-off, names the form your book mostly uses, and lists every place that departs from it with the chapter to open - bar the ellipsis, which is reported here and fixed on the typography check.
Learn more →Name shapes
Groups your named characters by first letter, by how they end and by their length, so you can see the names a reader skims past each other, and places the crowding against the published novels in our benchmark.
Learn more →Last seen
Reads where every mention of every term falls, and reports the ones that stop early and the ones that disappear for a long stretch of the book before coming back, so a thread you meant to pick up again is on a list rather than in your memory.
Learn more →Story clock
Gathers every expression the manuscript uses to place a scene in time - a measured step, a scene change, a time of day, a named day, a date, a season, a span measured from something - draws them as one picture of the book from first page to last, and lists them in the order a reader meets them, each with the sentence it came from and the chapter it sits in, so the timeline is a page you read rather than a page you build.
Learn more →Term clustering
Finds the passages where a word your book invented falls far more often than it does anywhere else in the manuscript, measured against that word’s own rate rather than against a fixed number, so the report is about your vocabulary rather than about repetition in general.
Learn more →Compare two drafts
Upload an earlier draft of the manuscript, or load a saved JSON export of one, and see which invented terms your world gained, lost or renamed since.
Learn more →Series check
Scan the next book in a series and see where it disagrees with the last one: a name spelled two ways, a term quietly dropped, a house style that moved between volumes.
Learn more →Working with the list
The controls over every screen: a filter box, names against phrases, two sort orders, a one-mention filter, and striking a term off every report at once.
Learn more →Use the book
Reader editions
One curated glossary, exported as an interactive HTML page, an embeddable snippet, an EPUB, a printable PDF, or JSON.
Learn more →Spoiler-level editions
Cut the glossary at a point in the book so an edition for early readers, beta readers or newsletter subscribers gives nothing away.
Learn more →Series bible
Every report from one scan bound into a single document, with the sections you want and none of the ones you do not.
Learn more →Fiction style sheet
Canonical spellings, aliases, first and last appearances and the spelling, capitalisation and hyphenation your book already keeps, in the one document an editor asks for first.
Learn more →Book handoff pack
The end of the scan, organised by who receives it: a style sheet for your editor, a series bible for your next book, a pronunciation sheet for your narrator and a glossary for your readers.
Learn more →Pronunciation guide
The list ACX and Audible productions ask authors for, every name a narrator would hesitate over, split into syllables for you to correct.
