Built for writers
who mean it
Not a grammar checker. Not an AI rewriter. A sharp editorial eye you control.
Novelists
You've read the draft four times. You've stopped seeing the passive constructions, the filler, the sentence that somehow reached 58 words. Inkcheck still sees them.
Editors
Load a client's manuscript, run the analysis, generate a printable report. Every issue logged, categorised, severity-scored — ready to discuss. The first pass done in minutes, not hours.
Self-publishers
No budget for a copy editor on every pass. Inkcheck won't replace a human eye — but it will catch the things that make a reader stop.
Everything an editor
actually needs
Built for real editorial workflows — not just grammar checking.
Deep prose analysis
16 check types covering mechanical errors, style issues, and repetition. Standard scan catches passive voice, adverb overuse, filler words, and more.
Quick + Standard scanEditor's Report
Generate a polished, printable report with manuscript stats, issue breakdown by category and by chapter, and a personal note to the author. The chapter table gives each chapter's word count, issue count, and issues per 1,000 words — wherever the manuscript's chapter headings can be recognised.

Add your own banned words and watch words. Flagged in orange so they're distinct from other issues. Lists persist across every session.

Common questions
Does Inkcheck send my manuscript to a server? +
No. Inkcheck runs entirely in your browser. Your manuscript never leaves your machine — zero data is sent to any server, ever.
Do I need an account to use Inkcheck? +
No account needed. Open the editor and start working immediately — no sign-up, no login, no password.
What file formats does Inkcheck support? +
Inkcheck imports .txt, .md (Markdown), .pdf and .docx (Word) files. You can also paste text directly into the editor. Exports to .txt, .doc, and PDF are available.
Is Inkcheck free? +
Yes. The core editor with all 16 check types, custom word lists, and .txt / .doc export is free forever. Inkcheck Pro is a one-time $39 purchase — no subscription, nothing renews — and unlocks the printable Editor's Report, Compare Drafts, Manuscript Scorecard, issue annotations, CSV export, Document Snapshots, and Read Aloud, which uses your browser's built-in text-to-speech to read the manuscript back to you sentence by sentence. The Editor's Report also breaks the results down chapter by chapter — word count, issue count, and issues per 1,000 words for each — so you can see which chapters need the most work. It needs chapter headings it can recognise, and tells you when it can't find them.
For working writers & editors
The free tier is generous.
Inkcheck Pro is worth it.
If you're editing client manuscripts, the Editor's Report alone saves you an hour of note-taking per project. If you're on your third draft and losing track of changes, Snapshots and Compare Drafts pay for themselves on the first chapter.
