Suggestions for a LLM to proofread (but not edit) my novel

[JimRac]

@Ria13

I have a MS of just over 100,000 words. the free LLMs that I have looked at will only edit in small chunks, so I’d pay for one month’s subscription. I can’t emphasize enough that I seek a LLM to only proofread the novel for typos and repeition.

Hi @Ria13,

You posted this five months ago. Have you actually tried any of the LLMs since then?

If so, I’m curious how useful you found the feedback.

Best,
Jim

What I would consider doing instead is asking LLM to write a python script that would scan the manuscript for duplicate sentences.

Theoretically this could be done with something as simple as Apple Shortcuts, too (if you’re on mac).

@Gorgonzola: great idea, thanks! and, yes, I do use macOS.

@JimRac: I’ve put it off, as I have so many things connected with this MS. after I finished revisions, I left it alone, though it still needs one more going-over for things like the aforementioned typos.
