A free line-edit for your manuscript, in your browser.
Paste your draft and instantly see every filter word, passive construction, cliché, and weak phrase — colour-coded across nine categories, scored against professional benchmarks.
Built for the pass before your editor sees it.
Kaiyo Manuscript reads your prose the way a line editor would — flagging the habits that quietly weaken fiction: telling instead of showing, passive constructions, vague nouns, adverb overuse, and clichés that slipped in unnoticed.
Paste your chapter, click Analyze, and every flagged phrase is highlighted directly in the text with a live percentage score per category, so you can see exactly where to focus your next revision pass.
See it flag real prose.
This is the kind of pass Kaiyo Manuscript runs the moment you paste in a scene.
Pasted in — unflagged
He noticed that the room was very dark. He wondered if the door was locked. Everything was a deafening silence.
After analysis — flagged instantly
The room was black. He tried the door. Locked. (Filter words and clichés removed — the scene now shows instead of tells.)
For writers doing their own pass first.
- You draft fiction and can't afford a professional editor for every revision.
- You want a fast, honest second opinion before you send pages to beta readers.
- You'd rather catch filter words and clichés yourself than pay per-word editing rates for a first pass.
