"Five years, Julia." Mark shook his head. "Five years and you're just now deciding you're done?"
"I'm not deciding anything. I'm asking what it's worth."
"That's the same thing and you know it."
About this tool
First-draft dialogue often has a problem: characters explain things to each other that they'd both already know, purely so the reader understands. This tool takes that kind of stiff, expository dialogue and loosens it up — cutting the parts real people wouldn't say, adding the interruptions and half-sentences that make speech sound lived-in, and nudging each speaker toward a more distinct voice. It's built for revision passes, not first drafts, and works best on short exchanges of a few lines rather than whole chapters at once.
Frequently asked questions
Will this change the plot events in the dialogue?+
No — it preserves what's being communicated and decided, it only changes how the characters say it.
Can it handle dialogue for more than two characters?+
Yes, though it works best when speaker attributions are clear in the input so each voice can be kept distinct.
Does it add subtext or does it just clean up phrasing?+
It primarily tightens phrasing and removes exposition. If your draft already has subtext, it will preserve and often sharpen it.
