SmartScribe, officially available as SmartScribe Pro, is a Windows writing studio created for novelists and series authors. It combines manuscript writing, book-accurate page formatting, proofreading, story planning, and publishing tools in one focused workspace.
Writers can organize characters and locations, manage several books, import existing documents, dictate text, and export print-ready PDF files. Manuscripts remain on the computer, while cloud voices and AI helpers are optional. Authors wanting a general-purpose word processor can also consider Microsoft Office 2021 LTSC with Word.
