Slips as you write i While you draft, only the slips: doubled words, paragraphs pasted twice, unfinished sentences and spacing slips, and with Pro, name spelling slips, homophones and words that should be one word or two. Checked in what you’ve written or changed today, wherever it is in the document, every few seconds as you write (or, with the menu, since the start of the last day you worked on it).

Current streak i Counts the days in a row Falcontext saw you add words. Writing it doesn’t see (on your phone, say) still adds to your total, but not to the streak. Miss just one day and your streak survives – miss two in a row and it resets.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.

Chapters, scenes and passes i Tick a scene when a pass is done on it, or a chapter’s box to do all its scenes (Structure goes by chapter). A box fills up as you fix or ignore what its checks found; once they’re all green, it ticks itself. Edited is how much of the book is through each pass (all five passes is 100%). A scene keeps its ticks by its heading or its first words, not its number, so adding or moving scenes keeps them.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.
Prose Analysis i Checks in five passes, big to small (structure, scenes and dialogue, sentences, words, proofing), on one scene, its chapter or the whole book at a time (scenes and chapters come from Bird’s Eye), each with a traffic light. Structure: pacing per chapter and chapter openings. Scenes and dialogue: tense and point of view, head hopping, dialogue tags, dialogue balance (dialogue and narrative, monologues), stage directions, continuity slips (someone who stands up twice, eyes that change colour) and the five senses. Sentences: passive voice, sentence openers (the same word again and again, “-ing” openers), sentence and paragraph length (flat stretches, long sentences, long paragraphs), readability and punctuation habits. Words: adverbs, filter words, clichés, repeated and crutch words, telling emotions, weak constructions, uncommon words, and dated or hurtful words (off until you turn it on). Proofing: spelling consistency (US or UK, -ize or -ise, email and e-mail, a name spelled another way), punctuation consistency (dialogue quotes, curly or straight quotes, dashes, ellipses), punctuation rules (dialogue punctuation, Chicago style), spacing slips, unfinished sentences (no full stop, a quotation mark never closed), doubled words and paragraphs (“the the”, a paragraph pasted twice) and homophones and sound-alikes (whose and who’s). A check that looks for several things shows each with its own light, and the worst sets the check’s. They run by themselves when the Edit tab opens, again every few seconds as you write, and after each Scan. Click a word or sample to see it in your text. English only; hints, not rules. Instant and private: it all runs in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere, and no AI is used.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.
The checks run when the Edit tab opens.
Characters i Scans your manuscript for recurring capitalized words as candidate character names: not words capitalized only where a sentence starts ("Then", "Inside"), "Sarah’s" counted as Sarah, a title with its name ("Mrs Bennet", "Uncle Vernon") and a name of two words ("Mary Ann") kept together. Ones that show up next to dialogue tags ("Sarah said", "asked Sarah") or after a title rank higher. It then checks each tracked one for presence within every chapter – or every scene, with "Include scenes" ticked – building a presence matrix – free (1 character at a time; more with Falcontext Pro), along with flagging when a character is off the page too long (more than 15,000 words or a fifth of the book, unless you change it: longer than most main characters in published novels go) and marking (with a dotted underline) where they come back. A ★ instead of a dot for the point-of-view character of each part (whose thoughts it tells: “Sarah knew”, “she wondered”; where no one’s are told, the one mentioned most), plus first-appearance order and who shares scenes with whom, are Pro. This is a word-frequency heuristic overall, not real name recognition – it will pick up some non-names (places, repeated capitalized words) and miss characters only ever referred to by a nickname or as “the captain”, so pick your real characters from the candidate list rather than trusting it outright. With Pro, the small arrow by a tracked name opens their sheet: what the book says about their looks (eyes, hair, build, marks), each value a chip that shows where it’s written. You can also type any word or phrase to track (a place, an object, a motif): in small letters, it’s found however it’s capitalised. Scan characters finds them, in the chapters Bird’s Eye found (Chapters, scenes and passes, above); what it found stays until you scan again.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.
Candidate names (0)
A name, or anything else: a place, an object, a motif. Typed in small letters, it’s found however it’s capitalised.
Places i The places your book names (Scan places finds them), and which chapters each is in. Tick the real ones; click a place to step through where it’s mentioned. Where each chapter is set: a place its heading names, or the one the story puts it in (“in” or “at” it, not going there; dialogue counts for little). Not clear? Where the last chapter ended (“as before?”), or the place whose scenery its words describe, sand for a desert, stone for mountains (“by the scenery?”); else “no clear place”. Change any chapter’s place by hand; under Inside and other names, say which place is inside which, and what else each is called. A place spelled two ways shows in Name spelling slips.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.

Glossary i Your world’s own words and what they mean. Falcontext suggests a meaning where your book explains the word (“…is what we call Emoting”, “the kethra, a shallow river boat”); accept it, change it or write your own. A word’s forms are one word (Emoting and Emoted). Words in the glossary are never counted as uncommon, and one spelled a letter off is flagged. Rare words: words in small letters used twice or more that aren’t in Falcontext’s dictionary or among the 20,000 most used in fiction: your own, or real but very rare.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.
Your book’s own words are found when the Edit tab opens.

All Manuscripts i A manuscript adds up the documents of one book, one per chapter, say: one total goal and one daily goal, one streak and one finish date for the whole book, whichever chapter you’re in, with reminders of its own. Words moved between its chapters aren’t counted as new writing. A document can be in one manuscript at a time. Part of Falcontext Pro.Click the i for more on falcontext.com.

On the Edit tab: once you’ve fixed or ignored everything a pass found in a scene, it’s ticked for that pass. Never unticks; one you untick yourself stays unticked.
Set it on the Write tab, under Words today: your day’s goal is then met at your words or your minutes, whichever comes first.
Unticked, any day with new words counts. Ticked, a day counts once its words or minutes reach the goal; days are known from when this version came in.
