Writing Nook — parrot writing a book with AI writing tools, story analyzer, and writing insights

Writing Workspace

Full Writing Desk

A focused, distraction-free editor for drafting and revising your book — with Psitta reading every line back to you as you write.

Document Library

Every draft, source, and manuscript in one organized library — import, search, sort, and pick up exactly where you left off.

Unlimited projects

Organize your work into as many projects as you need — each with its own documents, blueprint, narrative progress, and activity feed.

Story Development

Blueprints

Structure your book with Blueprints — living outlines that hold your beats, scenes, and intent, and travel with your project from first idea to final draft.

25+ narrative structures

Proven frameworks — Three-Act, Save the Cat, Seven-Point, Snowflake and more — each with an interactive, step-by-step guide.

Scene mapping

Map scenes onto your outline so every chapter knows where it sits in the story — and drifting scenes become visible at a glance.

Progress tracking

Watch your manuscript's progress build automatically as you write toward the finish — beats covered, scenes mapped, words on the page.

AI Writing Intelligence

Story-Coach — live drift nudges

An always-on coach that flags when a scene drifts from your outline or intent, so you can course-correct in the moment instead of on the rewrite.

Structure Analyzer

Analyze your draft against your chosen structure and get concrete, section-by-section feedback on pacing, gaps, and beats.

Writing analytics

Lifetime words, streaks, sessions and weekly word-trends build automatically as you write in the Desk — so you can see momentum, not guess at it.

AI assistance

Summarize It condenses any document on demand, and focused AI assistance gives honest, concrete feedback on your manuscript — in your language.

Reading & Revision

Hear your manuscript with pixel-accurate highlighting and premium neural voices — listening is how Psitta turns reading into revision.

Read aloud — hear every line

Open any document and press Read / Listen — Psitta narrates it in a natural voice while you follow along, at up to 4× speed.

PDF, DOCX, HTML, TXT, MD and e-books support

Upload any PDF, Word (DOCX), HTML page, plain-text (TXT), Markdown (MD), or EPUB e-book. Psitta extracts the text, preserves structure and reading order, and makes every format instantly ready to read, listen to, and edit — all in one place.

Premium neural voices

Choose from natural-sounding voices powered by ElevenLabs and Microsoft Azure Neural TTS. Standard voices are free for everyone — the full premium catalog is included with Writing Nook.

Sentence-level highlighting

Every sentence lights up in real time as it's read aloud — pixel-accurate highlighting powered by PDFium character-level bounding boxes. Follow along visually or click any sentence to jump there.

Word-level highlighting

Writing Nook includes word-by-word highlighting synchronized to the audio. See exactly which word is being spoken at any moment — ideal for catching individual word-choice issues.

Listening improves writing

Reading silently, your brain auto-corrects. Listening breaks the spell. Hear awkward phrasing, broken rhythm, and unclear passages that your eye skips over — the fix usually follows within seconds.

Native Desktop

Native Windows application

Psitta is a native Windows desktop application — not a browser extension or web app. A clean, distraction-free interface designed for focused writing.

Local performance

Runs on your machine, not in a browser tab — a snappy library, instant navigation, and smooth playback even with long manuscripts.

Keyboard shortcuts

Full keyboard control — play and pause, skip between passages, search your library, and upload documents without leaving the keys.

Offline-friendly workflow

Cached audio and a local-first interface keep your session smooth when the connection dips — keep reading and revising, and sync when you're back.
