To carve each line without losing the breath.
Real-time syllable analysis, enriched French dictionary, zen mode, repetition detection and a discreet AI that suggests without imposing: Extypis holds poetic writing from the first draft to a printable collection.
Meter
Counting syllables by hand breaks the rhythm of the work.
Syllable count appears in real time, line by line.
Built-in French syllable analysis: alexandrine, octosyllable, hexameter, free verse. You see the meter while you write, not after re-reading.
A writing workshop that respects the poetic voice.
Syllable count under each line, enriched dictionary at hand, zen mode for silence. Light or dark mode, fonts and typography all configurable.
From first line to presentable collection.
Extypis supports poetic work from the first breath to a presentable collection: capture, carve, listen, export.
Step 01
Catch the breath
An image, a rhythm, a sentence that resonates. You capture the material before the poem reveals itself fully.
Step 02
Work the meter
Syllable count appears as you write: you adjust the meter without re-reading three times.
Step 03
Find the right word
Enriched dictionary, synonyms, etymology: you find the nuance without leaving the poem.
Step 04
Carve line by line
Zen mode, focus, autosave and recoverable versions: you work the line without fearing the loss of the previous state.
Step 05
Use the AI when it helps
Inline rewrite of a line or a stanza: the AI proposes variants, you keep the voice.
Step 06
Detect the easy phrasings
Repetitions, recurring words, readability: tics surface before the final pass.
Step 07
Export a clean collection
Title page, front matter, PDF via LaTeX, EPUB or DOCX for sending to a publisher or self-publishing.
Poetic blockers are rarely “inspiration” blockers.
They come from counting, lexical precision, eye fatigue and export. Extypis carries that load with you.
“Counting my syllables by hand breaks the rhythm of writing.”
Checking that an alexandrine holds its twelve feet, or that an octosyllable doesn't overflow, becomes a chore on every line.
The Extypis answer
Syllable count shown in real time under each line: alexandrine, octosyllable, hexameter, free verse, with elision and dieresis handled.
“The right word exists, but opening a dictionary breaks momentum.”
Leaving the text to look up a synonym or an etymology breaks concentration and rhythm.
The Extypis answer
Enriched French dictionary reachable from the text: definitions, synonyms, antonyms, etymology and registers.
“Generic AI crushes the poetic voice.”
A tool that generates the whole poem sends back smooth, flat prose without the tension that makes a poem.
The Extypis answer
Extypis proposes targeted inline rewrites, line by line or stanza by stanza: the AI stays a tool, not a substitute.
“I stop seeing my repetitions after too many passes.”
As the collection grows, certain words come back unconsciously and dilute the precision of the text.
The Extypis answer
Short-distance repetition detection and readability analysis surface tics before the final pass.
“I need silence to write a poem.”
A loaded interface, notifications, a permanent toolbar: everything breaks the concentration the poem needs.
The Extypis answer
Zen mode empties the screen, hides the interface and lets the text breathe. You write, the rest disappears.
“My final collection never looks like a real book.”
Printing a PDF from Word gives a flat object, without typography, that undermines the work done.
The Extypis answer
PDF export via LaTeX with careful typography, EPUB for digital distribution, DOCX and HTML for other uses.
Three value blocks instead of one blurry pile of features.
Extypis works as three complementary supports: holding meter and language, supporting carving, then exporting a clean collection.
The line's form stays readable while you write.
Syllable count, enriched dictionary, repetition detection: the matter of the poem stays under your eye without leaving anything.
Syllable analysis
Count syllables in classical or phonetic mode for verse writing.
Dictionary
Definitions, synonyms, rhymes, etymology and nuance without leaving the editor.
Repetition detection
Spot unwanted repetition and refine your style faster.
An AI that proposes a line, not a poem.
Where a generic AI generates the whole text, Extypis limits itself to targeted inline rewrites and variant suggestions. You keep the voice, the AI polishes the matter.
AI writing assistant
Conversational AI assistant in the sidebar, color-coded quotes highlighted in the text and one-click rewriting from any passage.
AI rewriting in your text
Select any passage and let AI suggest a rewording right inside the editor.
Readability score
Measure how easy or demanding your text is to read.
The collection exits clean, ready for print or distribution.
Zen mode for concentration, recoverable versions, title page and typeset exports: finishing saves time when there's little left.
Zen mode
Hide secondary UI and keep only the writing surface.
Snapshots (versions)
Create versions, compare them and restore a previous state.
Front matter and back matter
Preface, afterword, dedication, epigraph, table of contents (at the start or the end?): publishing has conventions no author really learns. Extypis guides you through every editorial fixture — title page, cover auto-cropped to book format, ISBN, copyright, opening and closing sections — and lets you reorder or hide any of them at export.
PDF export (LaTeX)
Generate polished PDFs with true typographic quality.
Multi-format export
Export to PDF, DOCX, EPUB, HTML, Markdown or full archive.
Everything Extypis unlocks for you
Five concrete capabilities: structure, write, (use AI 🤫), analyse, publish.
Hold your story, from outline to final page.
Narrative tools you won't find elsewhere — turn a tangle of ideas into a structure that holds.
AI that suggests, never replaces
The AI permanently sees your whole project — outline, sheets, scenes already written. Every rewrite, every completion, every suggestion, every cover stays consistent with your entire work, and at no extra cost or setup. You approve every word.
Estimates if you only use this feature. Credits are shared across every AI tool.
Ship a book, not a file.
From manuscript to finished book: professional exports, academic citations, direct publishing.
Analyse and refine your prose
Style tools that go beyond the spell-checker: readability, poetic meter, repetitions, connectors, passive voice.
Daily writing comfort
Everything that makes long-form writing sustainable: shortcuts, templates, anchored notes, versions, goals.
Lifetime updates
Every future Extypis innovation included, no extra cost, no paywall.
Backing an indie project
Extypis is an independent, self-funded project — no ads, no venture capital.
Human support
Got a question? You talk directly to the creator, never a chatbot.
Free to begin, even to finish. Serious when the collection takes shape.
Meter, language and writing start without friction. Paid plans mainly extend AI credits, advanced analysis and depth as the collection grows.
The questions poets usually ask before stepping in.
Does syllable counting really handle elision and dieresis?
Yes. French syllable analysis integrates elision rules (silent e at the end of a word before a vowel) and classical dieresis. You see the exact count under each line in real time.
Will the AI write my poem for me?
No. Extypis deliberately limits itself to inline rewriting of a line or stanza and to variant suggestions. No full-poem generation: you keep the voice, the AI polishes the matter.
Is zen mode really empty?
Yes. Zen mode = empty screen, hidden interface, just the text. You write, the rest disappears. Exit in one click or keyboard shortcut.
Is the French dictionary integrated or external?
Integrated. Definitions, synonyms, antonyms, etymology and registers reachable directly from the text without opening a tab.
Is the AI the same for free and subscribed users?
No, and that goes for both text and image. On editorial-sensitive tasks (inline rewrite of a line or stanza, variant suggestions, AI assistant), a subscription automatically switches the AI cascade to Claude Sonnet 4.6, the strongest model on French prose. Free users stay on Mistral, Llama, Cerebras and Gemini: very fast and excellent for drafting, more modest on finishing. For image generation (collection covers), free users get Flux schnell (fast, standard quality) while subscribers access Flux 1.1 Pro and DALL-E 3 (editorial quality, careful typography).
Are my texts used to train an AI?
No. Your texts are never sent to the models for training. None of the AI providers used by Extypis (Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Groq, Gemini) has access to your content outside of the punctual API call required for the requested generation. The APIs are configured without training opt-in, and no data is retained on Extypis' side beyond what is strictly required to run the product.
Can I export a print-ready collection?
Yes. PDF export goes through a server-side LaTeX compilation with careful typography. EPUB for digital distribution, DOCX and HTML for other uses.
Is this only for poetry?
No, but Extypis is particularly strong for poetic work: syllable counting, enriched dictionary, repetition detection, zen mode and non-invasive AI.
Your collection deserves better than a Word doc and a mental syllable counter.
Start with meter and language, add AI where it genuinely helps, and keep the whole work inside a space that respects the voice.
