Edit and export the rewrite

This page shows you how to finish a rewrite by hand and take it out of PlainSpeak.

Edit by hand

Type straight into the Your rewrite panel. The scan on the Current copy tab updates a moment after you stop typing, and the tells stay highlighted in your text.

To find one kind of tell, select its chip in the scan panel. Only those stay highlighted, and the panel scrolls to the first one. Select the chip again to show them all.

Versions

Each rewrite is saved as a version, shown as v1, v2 and so on above the rewrite, with the model that wrote it. PlainSpeak keeps the last 12.

Select a version to view it. Later versions are kept.
Rewrite again rewrites the version you are viewing, including your hand edits.
Restart discards every version and keeps your original. With more than one version it asks first, under the button.

The compare bar

Above the rewrite, the compare bar shows what changed against your original:

Item	What it means
tells	Wording tells in your original, then in the rewrite.
voice	Whether the style held. See How the score works.
facts	Facts kept out of those in your original.
avg	Average words per sentence, before and after.
length	How much longer or shorter the rewrite is.
new wording	Recompose only: how much of the wording is new. When much is shared, try another model family.
fix touched	Fix passes only: how much of the wording the fix changed.

Copy and download

Choose Markdown to keep formatting such as headings, bold and bullets, or Plain text to strip it. Plain text turns bullets into a bullet character and a link into its text with the address in brackets.
Select Copy.

To save the rewrite as a file, select .md, which downloads plainspeak- and the date. In Plain text the button reads .txt.

History

Select the clock at the top right to open History. It keeps your latest 200 rewrites, fewer if they are very long, with the original, the rewrite, the mode, the model and the scores.

Search finds rewrites containing every word you type, in the original or the rewrite.
Select an entry to bring it back, with both texts and the scan.
The bin on an entry deletes it straight away.
To delete many, choose a range, such as Last 24 hours or All time, select Clear, then confirm. The range covers your whole history, not only search results.

The example from Load AI-slop sample is never saved to History.

Start a new piece

Select + at the top right. PlainSpeak asks first, then clears your text and its versions. History and settings are kept.
