Talers

Overview

Talers is a writing application for books, novels, scripts, articles, and other structured projects. Its core workflow centers on organizing work as projects made up of files and folders, rather than treating writing as a single document.

The product combines collaborative editing with writing-focused tools such as a thesaurus, proofreader, distraction-free mode, auto-scrolling, Markdown support, writing statistics, and an AI assistant with full project context. Talers also offers a free plan and a Pro plan for users who need advanced correction and AI features.

Features

Project-based organization

Work on a project instead of a single document, with files and folders that can hold chapters, notes, research results, images, and quotes.

Real-time collaboration

Share a text or project by URL and collaborate in read, comment, or write mode for proofreading and group editing.

AI-assisted writing tools

Use the built-in AI assistant and Pro writing tools such as advanced correction, rephrasing, translation, and embedded dictionaries.

Focus-oriented editor

Switch to distraction-free mode for focused writing, and use auto-scrolling so the current line stays at a consistent eye level.
