Bring a manuscript back in a useful format

EPUB imports can export as EPUB or Word; Word imports return as Word. Each target language is handled separately. The service gives no strict novel-length limit, while numeric upload quotas and fidelity of critical formatting still need checking.

Choose the edition's language and available model

The language list includes distinct British English, European and Latin American Spanish, and European and Brazilian Portuguese choices alongside French, German and other languages. Available ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and DeepSeek models can vary by language pair or account.

Proofreading sits alongside translation in the app. Independent human-review providers are separate businesses with their own terms and prices; their review is not included automatically in AI translation.

Language choices, credits, and exports

Budget by translated words

One translated word uses one credit. Monthly plans range from 15,000 credits at $19 to two million at $999. Unused subscription credits carry forward while subscribed, with sixty days to use them after cancelled access ends.

Separately purchased Forever Credits do not expire. Larger subscriptions discount those purchases; rejected chapters do not deduct translation credits.
