How EdiP reads, and how you use it

What EdiP is

EdiP is an editor for literary text, but it does not correct or rewrite your work. It reads it. It maps your register, the space between the lines, the architecture of the narrative and the construction of character, then sets down its judgement together with the evidence it drew from the text.

After that you can talk it over. If your text is a draft, you can move on to the Editor’s Studio to develop it.

Start in three steps

• 1Give it the textPaste it into the editor box or type directly. You can also upload a file; .docx and .txt are supported.
• 2Choose genre and statusGENRE sets the criteria for the reading: a short story and an academic paper are not read by the same measure. STATUS tells EdiP whether the text is a draft or finished; choosing “Draft” opens the sections meant for development.
• 3Pick a mode and press “Analyze”Findings appear in the panel on the right. While a deep reading runs, the first signals start showing on screen, you can watch the reading unfold instead of waiting in the dark.

Two modes

• ◆Deep AnalysisThe fullest literary reading. The text is read separately from many independent perspectives, and the findings are then brought together into a single judgement. Most sections open only in this mode.Usually takes about a minute; longer texts may take a few.
• ◇Quick ModeAn instant scan: first impression, rhythm, basic measurements. Sections specific to deep reading stay closed. Enough when you just want a quick look at a text.Returns in seconds.

What you see when the analysis is done

The results panel is split into tabs. Not all of them open for every text; some depend on genre and status.

• IOverviewThe judgement. What the text does, where it is strong, where it stumbles.
• IIDetailThe detail the judgement rests on: axes, measurements, and the questions left open.
• IIICreative AnalysisReadings that approach the text from unusual angles. You choose which ones to include before a report is produced.
• IVCharacter AnalysisA spiral map of how a character unfolds and contradicts itself across the text.Not performed for didactic genres (academic, composition, essay).
• VImagineExplores the paths the text could take.Only with: Deep Analysis + Draft + short story.
• VIDevelopmentComparison against earlier versions of the same text: where the voice drifted, where it settled.Only with: Deep Analysis + Draft + a previously saved version.
• VIIReportA professional literary analysis report. Explained separately below.
• VIIITranslateCarries the text and its reading findings into the literary translation engine.

The Report

The report is a single, large reading built on top of the analysis findings: it turns scattered observations into one coherent, long, readable piece.

Before you press the button, the estimated time and cost are shown; you start knowing what you will spend.

The conversation

Once the analysis is finished you can talk about the text. The conversation sees both the findings and the full text, so references like “that sentence” or “the second part” land.

A good question is narrow and directed. A broad question earns a broad answer, and a broad answer is no use to you.

Editor’s Studio

An assisting editor that works through your draft sentence by sentence. It reads as you write and shows you where you have drifted from your own register. It never writes in your place.

Voice Profile

As EdiP reads more of your texts, it builds a profile of the voice that is yours: your vocabulary, your sentence habits, your silences. Later readings measure drift against that profile; that is what lets it say “this sentence doesn’t sound like you.”

Literary translation

Literary translation is a separate craft and lives in a separate product: EdipVersa. EdipLit’s reading findings (voice, subtext, narrative coherence) are carried across intact, so the text changes language without losing its voice.

Privacy

Your drafts are never saved and never used to train AI models. Your text is read, analysed, returned to you, and it stays there.
