Chapterizer: Turn your dictation into a chapter you can revise.
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. Chapterizer adds punctuation, paragraphs, and dialogue formatting so you can start revising what you wrote.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

Start with a pasted transcript or an .mp3 or .m4a recording, including an iPhone Voice Memo. Get a readable chapter draft to review and copy into your manuscript.
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
Read dialogue as an exchange and an explanation as paragraphs. Spend your next pass deciding what the chapter needs, with less punctuation repair in the way.
Spot your reminders for later
Chapterizer marks spoken notes to yourself in brackets, so you can find unfinished work before it slips into the finished prose. Check that every important note survived.
Give unusual names a head start
Supply the correct spellings of character names, places, or specialist terms. Give the cleanup a reference for words your dictation app may have misheard.
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 into your manuscript. The first reply contains the chapter text without an introduction or a report to remove.
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.
Before you start
Will it rewrite my chapter?
Chapterizer is designed for light cleanup that stays close to your dictated wording. It corrects transcription mistakes and removes filler, so the result is not a verbatim transcript. Review it against your original, especially where exact wording matters.
Can I use a recording from my phone?
Yes. Upload an .mp3 or .m4a recording, including an iPhone Voice Memo. Chapterizer works from the transcription to create the cleaned draft. You can also 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?
Chapterizer marks spoken reminders such as notes to self in brackets. Check those notes against your original before continuing. An important reminder can still be missed or moved.
How do I move the result into Word?
Copy the chapter text and choose Keep Text Only when you paste into Word. This avoids carrying the chat bubble's styling into your manuscript. A follow-up reply may include a credit report, so select only the chapter text when copying a revision.
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.
