Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Manalyzer, our features, and how we handle your data.

What exactly is Manalyzer?

Manalyzer is an AI-powered developmental editor designed for authors. It goes beyond basic grammar and spell-checking to provide in-depth analysis of your manuscript's core components, such as plot structure, character development, worldbuilding consistency, pacing, and overall marketability.

Is my manuscript safe? Who owns the rights?

Your work is always yours. You retain 100% of the rights and ownership of your manuscript. We treat your work with the strictest confidentiality. Manuscripts are uploaded securely to a private Google Cloud Storage bucket, and our system only accesses the text to perform the analysis. We will never share, sell, or use your manuscript for any other purpose. Your data is isolated and protected using industry-standard security practices.

How does the token system work?

Tokens are the currency of Manalyzer. Each analysis you run consumes a certain number of tokens, based on the length of your manuscript and the complexity of the analysis requested. This pay-as-you-go model allows you to use our service without being locked into a subscription. You get 10 free tokens upon signing up to try the service, and you can purchase more as you need them.

What file formats do you accept?

Currently, we accept manuscripts in PDF & DOC format. This ensures that your formatting is preserved and allows our system to process the text accurately. We recommend exporting your document from your writing software (e.g., Microsoft Word, Scrivener, Google Docs) as a standard PDF / DOC file before uploading.

Can Manalyzer replace a human editor?

Manalyzer is designed to be a powerful tool in your editing process, but it is not a replacement for a professional human editor. It serves as an affordable and incredibly fast 'first-pass' developmental editor, helping you identify and fix major structural and narrative issues before you invest in human editing services. This allows you to present a much stronger manuscript to a human editor, saving you time and money in the long run.
