Chapterizer: Skip the wall of text. Start revising.
You got the words down by talking. Now the transcript is a wall of text, and cleaning it up stands between you and the next draft. With Chapterizer, you start revising what you wrote instead of repairing it.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

Your work stays private. Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post. The tools use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
Get back to the work of shaping your chapter.
Use the cleanup as a starting point for revision, with your original close at hand.
See the scene or argument
You open the chapter and it reads like the scene or explanation you had in mind. Spend your next pass deciding what it needs, with less punctuation repair in the way.
Spot your reminders for later
You worry less that a note to yourself will slip into the finished prose. Check that every important note survived.
Give unusual names a head start
You spend less time fixing the names your dictation app mangled, so you can get back to the scene.
What authors say about Chapterizer
These authors describe their own experiences. The time saved will depend on your recording and the review it needs.
“Now cleaning up a chapter takes just a minute or two.”
“This saves SOOO much time. Totally worth my patronage.”
Bring the words you have already dictated.
You bring
Paste a transcript, or upload an .mp3 or .m4a recording or a .txt or .docx transcript. Choose Fiction, Nonfiction, or Children's, and add correct spellings if needed. Use either the pasted transcript or a file. If you supply both, the pasted transcript takes priority.

You get
A cleaned chapter draft you can review and copy straight into your manuscript.
Keep your original. Compare important wording, names, and author notes before replacing text in your manuscript. Cleanup can make mistakes, and the chapter still needs your editorial judgment. If a stretch of audio fails to transcribe, you should see a note marking the spot, so check your recording there.
Before you start
Will it rewrite my chapter?
You want your chapter to still sound like you. Your words stay close to how you said them, and you stay in charge, so check the result against your original wherever exact wording matters.
Can I use a recording from my phone?
Yes, and you do not have to retype a thing. Upload an .mp3 or .m4a recording, including an iPhone Voice Memo, or paste an existing transcript. Your work stays private. Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post. The tools use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
Does it work for fiction and nonfiction?
Yes. Use it for a dictated scene or a nonfiction explanation you want to revise. It does not develop an unwritten chapter, verify your facts, or replace a substantive edit.
What happens to notes I dictate to myself?
You can keep dictating reminders to yourself without losing your place. Check them against your original first, because an important reminder can still be missed or moved.
How do I move the result into Word?
Moving the chapter into Word takes seconds. Copy the chapter text and paste it with Keep Text Only, so no extra styling comes along. If you ask for a revision, copy only the chapter text from that reply.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words.
