Grammar that understands fiction
A grammar checker that knows you broke that rule on purpose
Fragments carry rhythm. Dialect is voice. Dialogue was never meant to be grammatical. This checks the mechanics without flattening the parts that make the prose yours.
- Fiction-aware
- Fragments and dialect read as choices.
- 13 rules
- Each one named, each one checkable.
- You decide
- Every correction is a suggestion.
General grammar checkers were built for business writing, which is why they underline half of every novel. A fragment in a thriller is pacing. A character who drops their consonants is characterisation. Correcting those is not proofreading, it is damage.
What it catches
Misspellings, doubled words, missing or extra spaces around punctuation, unbalanced quotes and brackets, inconsistent dashes and ellipses, repeated punctuation.
Dialogue punctuation
A period before a speech tag where a comma belongs, and a capitalised pronoun starting a tag. The most common mechanical error in unedited fiction.
Spelling that knows your world
Character and place names count as words. British and American spellings both pass. A coinage you use repeatedly is reported once, not forty times.
What it refuses to flag
Fragments, comma splices, dialect, ungrammatical dialogue, and sentences opening with a conjunction.
How it goes
- 1
Bring in the chapter
Paste it, or import the whole manuscript at once.
- 2
Read the findings
Each one names the rule it came from and points at the paragraph.
- 3
Reject what was deliberate
The suggestion goes away and the sentence stays exactly as written.
Questions
Will it correct my characters’ dialogue?
Not the way they speak. Dialogue is treated as speech, so a character with poor grammar keeps it. Genuine typos inside dialogue are still surfaced.
Does it handle British spelling?
Yes. Both en-GB and en-US dictionaries are loaded, and a word has to fail both before it is flagged.
What about invented words?
Names from your story count as vocabulary, and any unknown word used three or more times is reported once as likely deliberate rather than flagged repeatedly.
Is it free?
The mechanical checks are free.
