Features of SmartScribe Pro:
Everything a manuscript requires, in one spot.
The writing tools, formatting, and reference materials will allow you to stay focused on your story rather than fighting your word processor.
Book-accurate layout and print-ready PDF.
Write on a genuine, paginated page with alternating gutters, running headings and footers, and 15+ trim sizes, then produce a production-ready PDF to send to your printer or publishing business.
The World Book
A story bible made out of index cards for your characters, locations, factions, and lore—a reference you create and preserve as you write.
Margin Notes
Attach sticky notes to any point in your document. They sit beside your text, accompanying it as you write and edit, but never appear in the final book.
Proofreader
A copy-editor designed for fiction. Check a selection, the current page, or the entire chapter, and then go right to each fix in your text.
Rewrite and Word Lookup
Reword a sentence with a single click, or right-click any phrase to see its meaning and a list of stronger alternatives in context.
Series Management
Keep an entire series together, navigate between volumes with a single click, and search via everything you’ve written.
Read Aloud and Dictate
Listen to your text in a natural voice to catch what your eyes overlook, record narration as an audio file, or write by speaking.
Import Anything.
Bring in Word, RTF, HTML, or plain text, and SmartScribe will read it and automatically find your chapters.
Private by Design.
Your text is on your computer. Online aids are optional, turned off by default, and require your own account keys.
A real page on your screen, a print-ready book off it.
SmartScribe Pro provides the same on-screen page production as a full word processor such as Microsoft Word, but it is designed specifically for novels. You write on the finished, laid-out page as you type, with genuine pagination, alternating gutters, and running headers, whereas other novel-writing programs require you to draft in plain text then compile later to see how it looks. When you’ve finished your manuscript, export it as a production-ready PDF and send it directly to your printer or publishing business.
See the finished book while you write.
SmartScribe creates your text in the format in which it will be printed and bound: facing pages with proper margins rather than a flat document.
- True pagination—you write on the actual page, not a flowing document.
- Alternating gutters, similar to those in a bound book.
- Choose from over 15 ready-made formats or choose your own trim size.
- Professional headers, footers, and page numbers
- Export a production-ready PDF and send it to your printer or publishing business.
A tale bible that keeps all details straight.
The World Book is your own set of index cards, with one for each character, location, and piece of mythology. You develop it as you go, and it’s always accessible with a single click.
- Cards for characters, locations, factions, objects, and more.
- Summarise a chapter and file it directly in your notes.
- Your reference is built by you, not invented for you.
An editor that reads like a copy editor
The Proofreader was designed for fiction, not business communications. Run it on a line, a page, or an entire chapter, and walk through each recommendation exactly where it appears in your document.
- Checks a selection, the current page, or the whole chapter.
- “Show in document” skips directly to the flagged passage.
- Rewrite and Word Lookup are just one right-click away.
The reports it generates for you
SmartScribe Pro takes your chapter notes and creates the papers every author requires in seconds. These are the actual reports it generated for the Treasure Island sample. To read them, click on any of them.
System requirements
- Requirements: Windows 10/11 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, or 16 GB preferred.
- 1 GB of disc space, extra space for your books.
- Internet is only for online help.
