Shandor Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 So, longshot here. But hemmingway is pretty nice for finding stupid or complicated sentences in your text to help you smooth out your prose. I have no idea if there is an API for the on-line hemmingway. I have no idea if the algorithm is available. But it would be nice to have it within storyist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewitt Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Do you find it awkard to export, check and import again? I was looking at this tool as well but was concerned I did not want to leave Storyist to run it and then try to get my manuscript back inside in the right condition again... -t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hmmm. It looks like Hemingway doesn't like Dickens. -Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandor Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Im not sure why it matters if Hemingway doesn't like Dickens. Run on sentences suck, even if he wrote them. Its a useful tool especially for those of us who don't have a lot of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to copy/paste in chunks of 10 pages or less because it gets laggy. So yeah, its awkward.... but not debilitating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
