Listed limitations
- There is no instant-value path. The 30-minute interview comes first and the product is not useful before it
- The signature establishes which voice profile a document was made against and that neither has changed since. It does not prove who typed the words
- Built for professional screenwriters. General-purpose prose and marketing writers are not the audience
- Small and new. There is no large support organisation behind it
- At $20.99/month it is priced above hobbyist writing tools
- Limited to digital content only
- No multi-language support
- Lack of collaboration features
- No scheduling features
- Text-to-speech missing
