Manuscript checker
Paste a section, run a focused proofread, and review every correction before it goes back into the manuscript. Dainty helps with clear errors without taking over the draft.
No card. Review every change before it touches your draft.
Before
The witness was gone. Its footprints were not.
After
The witness was gone. Its footprints were not.
Sometimes the best proofread is a visible non-change with review notes reserved for deeper passes.
Proofreading target
Dainty is built for useful fiction proofreading, not maximum suggestion count.
Tool choice
A full manuscript is too personal for blind rewrites. Dainty works section by section so each correction stays visible and rejectable.
Proofreading depth
Safest cleanup for typos, punctuation slips, and clear local errors.
Deeper local proofreading for dialogue punctuation, sentence boundaries, and grammar when the fix is clear.
Clarity and continuity notes for confusing references, ambiguity, and small continuity slips.
Before you paste
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.
It is designed to preserve sentence rhythm, pacing, fragments, dialogue quirks, and other deliberate fiction choices unless there is a genuine error to fix.
Yes. Proofreading stays behind account creation so your quota, verification state, and purchased word packs can be managed safely.
