Paste a scene

Proofread my scene free, without rewriting the voice.

Paste a real fiction passage. Dainty catches typos, punctuation slips, broken dialogue, and clear grammar errors, then shows every change before you keep it.

No card. Review every change before it touches your draft.

Proofreading target

What it catches, and what it leaves alone

Dainty is built for useful fiction proofreading, not maximum suggestion count.

What Dainty catches

  • Misspellings and obvious typos
  • Missing apostrophes and end punctuation
  • Dialogue punctuation that is clearly broken
  • Sentence-boundary and local grammar errors when the fix is clear

What Dainty leaves alone

  • Character voice
  • Sentence rhythm
  • Deliberate fragments
  • Stylized roughness that belongs to the scene

Tool choice

Why not use a generic grammar tool?

Generic tools often reward smoother wording. Dainty is narrower: it is built to proofread fiction, show the diff, and leave working voice alone.

Proofreading depth

Choose the pass your draft needs

Gentle

Safest cleanup for typos, punctuation slips, and clear local errors.

Focused

Deeper local proofreading for dialogue punctuation, sentence boundaries, and grammar when the fix is clear.

Rigorous

Clarity and continuity notes for confusing references, ambiguity, and small continuity slips.

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.
