Peeko Prose v0.15.2 beta
Peeko notices. You decide.
Peeko is a privacy-first fiction checker for writers who want another pair of eyes without handing over the pen.
What Peeko is for
Peeko highlights places that may deserve attention—such as punctuation spacing, tense consistency, nearby repetition, sentence rhythm and optional clarity concerns. It explains what it noticed and leaves the sentence untouched. There is no replacement-sentence generator.
Known limitations
- Peeko uses rules and context clues, not a human understanding of a whole novel. It can miss issues and raise deliberate writing choices.
- Dialogue, direct thoughts and time shifts are recognised heuristically. Unusual quotation styles, nested quotations and experimental punctuation may be classified incorrectly.
- British and American profiles cover selected conventions; they are not exhaustive dictionaries or full grammar systems.
- DOCX import extracts readable paragraph text. Complex layout, comments, tracked changes, footnotes, images and formatting are not preserved.
- Learned choices match a technical fingerprint of the observed wording and context. Substantial revisions can make a choice appear new.
- Data is local to each browser and exact website address. Use complete backups before changing device, browser or Peeko address.
Release 15.2: Search and Discovery
- Clear canonical, search-result and social-sharing information for Peeko’s official address.
- Software application details that accurately describe Peeko as a free, private, rule-based fiction checker.
- Dedicated robots and sitemap files to help search engines discover the app and its information pages.
Release 15: Context and Clarity
- More accurate tense checks for infinitive and modal base forms such as “to do,” “to have,” “would do” and “would have.”
- A focused verb-form notice for unusual auxiliary combinations instead of a misleading tense-shift warning.
- Direct-question punctuation checks, including questions inside quotation marks that end with a full stop.
- Clearer explanations for comma splices, adverbs, uncertainty words, filtering and passive constructions.
- Improved sentence recognition around closing quotation marks.
