Getting started

Getting started with Manucheck

Create an account, connect your OpenAI key, and run your first analysis in under ten minutes.

1. 1

   Create your account from the sign-up page using an email address and password, or continue with Google. If you signed up with email, confirm the message we send before signing in.

2. 2

   Open OpenAI API Settings from the dashboard sidebar and paste your OpenAI key. Manucheck verifies it against the OpenAI models endpoint before saving, so an invalid key is rejected immediately rather than failing mid-analysis.

3. 3

   Go to Upload Manuscript, drag your DOCX, PDF, EPUB or TXT file into the drop zone, and confirm. The file is validated against your plan's size limit and stored in a private encrypted bucket.

4. 4

   Press Run analysis. Extraction and the four analysis passes typically take between two and twelve minutes depending on word count.

5. 5

   When the report is ready, open it from Reports. You can print it or save it as a PDF from your browser's print dialog.
