This tool detects words that are syllabically ambiguous or may have different pronunciations depending on regional accents, dialects, or reading styles. These words can cause issues in rhyming picture books when used as end rhymes.

This tool allows you to completely remove all art notes from your manuscript. Useful when you need a clean version without any illustrator notes.
