Tool choice

Why not use a generic grammar tool?

Many grammar tools push extra polish because they serve every kind of writing. Dainty is built for fiction passages where no edit is often the right edit.

Before you paste

Questions writers ask before trying Dainty

What does Dainty actually change?

Dainty fixes typos, punctuation, grammar, dialogue punctuation, and broken sentence boundaries. Focused goes deeper on local proofreading fixes, and Rigorous adds review notes for unclear references and small continuity slips.

What does Dainty leave alone?

It is designed to preserve sentence rhythm, pacing, fragments, dialogue quirks, and other deliberate fiction choices unless there is a genuine error to fix.

Do I need an account before I can proofread?

Yes. Proofreading stays behind account creation so your quota, verification state, and purchased word packs can be managed safely.
