About this tool

Build a cast and location index from your draft. This proper noun extractor lists every capitalized name and place with occurrence counts — useful for series bibles, style sheets, and catching names that appear only once (possible typos).

Continuity checks across long manuscripts

Series bibles, name-variant lists, and POV slip detectors address the main failure mode of AI long-form writing: drift. Names change spelling, timelines compress, and point of view wobbles. Log facts as you write and re-scan after every major revision pass.

Tips for fiction authors

  • Names that appear only once are likely typos, especially in AI drafts. Check every singleton against your character list.
  • Export the CSV and sort by count. Your protagonist should have the highest count. If a side character ranks higher, they may be stealing the story.
  • Use the name list to create a style sheet for your editor. Include pronunciation notes for invented names.
  • Fantasy and sci-fi authors should check for name collisions — two characters whose names start with the same letter confuse readers.
