Revise your novel with your ears
Your eyes lie when you reread your own writing. They skate over the missing word, forgive the sentence that does not land, and read what you meant instead of what you wrote.
Any word processor can read your manuscript aloud. None of them can take the correction. You hear the paragraph that limps, and then you have to be at a desk to fix it.
Qlemi closes that loop. Headphones in, out for a walk, listen to your chapter. Flag what is wrong as you hear it. Speak the replacement. The revision is in the manuscript before you get home.
Free while Qlemi is in development. No card, no trial clock.
The loop
- Listen. Press play on any paragraph and the book reads itself to you. Audio is generated once and cached, so hearing the same chapter again is instant and costs nothing.
- Flag. A paragraph lands wrong. One key, one tap, and you keep listening. Everything you flagged is waiting in a list when you sit down.
- Re-dictate. Hold the button and say the paragraph again. It is transcribed, tidied for punctuation and dialogue, and shown beside the old version. Nothing is replaced until you accept it.
- Keep what you wrote. Every version of every paragraph is kept. You can always go back and read the first attempt.
Who this is for
Writers whose desk time is scarce
A job, small children, a commute. The revision happens on the walk instead of waiting for an evening that never comes.
Writers who cannot type comfortably
RSI, a wrist that will not cooperate. The whole loop works without a keyboard.
Writers who read by ear
Dyslexia, or simply a preference for hearing prose. The manuscript is audio first, text second.
Writers preparing for audio
If it will be an audiobook, you want to hear the rhythm long before anyone else records it.
It does not write your book
There is no generate button. No suggested next sentence. No machine prose anywhere in your manuscript, and no way to accidentally end up with any. The AI reads to you and listens to you; the words stay yours.
The one place a model touches your text is the cleanup pass after dictation, and it is told in as many words to fix punctuation and formatting and to change nothing else. You see the result beside the original before anything is saved.
Honest about what it is
Qlemi is built by one person, in the evenings, and used every day on a novel in progress. It is not audited, not certified, and not finished. What it does with your manuscript is written out in full on the privacy page, and what protects it, including the gaps, is on the security page.
