How it works

Writing has habits: favourite words, punctuation, sentence length and spelling choices that can point to who wrote it. Flattening removes the easy signals. TELLS does not make you anonymous and it does not rewrite your sentences. The text stays in this tab.

Doing this often? OBSCURA Write lists the most frequent words, repeated phrases and echoes across a whole manuscript, counted on your computer. On its own, US$4 a month; with everything else, US$9 a month or US$79 a year. 7 days free.
