See Which Words Are Yours — Review Authorship When You Want It

Novvler 3 min read

When AI helps with a sentence, you should still know which words you typed and which you accepted. Not as a percentage in a panel. On the page — when you ask to see it.

Novvler still stamps authorship at write time. The page stays calm while you draft: colours are off by default, so green and pink don’t fight for attention while you’re in the flow.

When you want a review pass, turn on Show authorship in the editor. Then you can see:

  • Green — text you typed (or dictated) yourself
  • Pink — text you accepted from AI Assist, Unstuck, or photo transcription
  • Amber — mixed lines you re-tag yourself

Nothing here is a black-box classifier guessing after the fact. We mark what happened in the editor when it happened. You stay the author. Hide authorship again when you’re done reviewing, and the page goes quiet.

How to try it

  1. Open app.novvler.com and open a chapter.
  2. Write as usual — the prose should stay uncoloured.
  3. Turn on Show authorship. Typed spans should mark green; AI inserts pink.
  4. Select a mixed stretch and re-tag if you need to — amber when you say so.
  5. Turn Show authorship off to get back to a quiet page.

Older sentences stay unmarked until you touch them. Production books aren’t recast overnight. Your preference sticks across reloads.

What this isn’t (yet)

This is not a public “Certified Human” badge for agents and publishers. Project-level gold/silver/bronze claims stay gated until sentence-level marks are the honest foundation. Authorship lives on the page first — and only paints when you ask.

The iPhone / iPad companion app uses its own editor, so these colours are on the web editor for now. Native marks can follow later.

Why we care

Writers deserve a clear trail of what they typed and what they accepted — without wallpapering the draft while they’re trying to think. Focus while writing. Honesty when you review.

Try it in a chapter. Keep the colours off while you draft. Flip them on when you want to see the trail.
