TextJam Features & Overview

TextJam is a multi-player AI writing editor for teams and creators. You write in Pen to keep your words untouched and switch to Pencil when you want AI help. Inline prompts live where you’re editing, so you steer phrasing, tone, and structure without juggling tools. The workspace supports gestures that resize drafts, a document-level chat with teammates and AI, and speech features that turn ideas into clean copy. You can dictate thoughts in real time and play back audiobook-quality narration with karaoke-style highlights. Model switching covers ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Grok, and DeepSeek with training-free provider agreements to protect your data.

Core Features

• Pen and Pencil modes: Write in Pen to preserve original text, switch to Pencil to request AI completions and rewrites. Choose the mode per selection, then accept or reject changes with precise diffs for tight control.
• Inline prompting on selection: Highlight a line or paragraph and ask to tighten, expand, or change tone. TextJam scopes the instruction to that region, applies transformations locally, and keeps surrounding structure intact.
• Pinch-to-resize drafts: Pinch to shorten or spread to expand at sentence, bullet, paragraph, or full-doc scope. The editor reflows length while maintaining lists, headings, and references, which keeps layout readable during iteration.
• Live multi-player editing: See cursors, selections, and edits from teammates in real time. Role settings and presence indicators prevent collisions, and the engine merges changes without breaking your flow.
• Group chat per document: Chat with AI and collaborators right beside the canvas. Threads stay attached to the doc, so decisions and examples remain searchable and you avoid context loss to external messengers.
• Talk to your Doc (dictation): Capture ideas with streaming speech-to-text and automatic punctuation. Start and stop from the editor, then convert notes into clean prose using local prompts tied to each section.
• Narration with karaoke highlights: Play back drafts in natural voices while the editor highlights words in sync. Use narration to catch awkward phrasing and polish timing before you publish or hand off.
• Multi-model access: Switch between ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, Grok, and DeepSeek from one subscription. Pick models per task for style, latency, or cost, and keep data off training pipelines by default.
• Prompt presets and tone controls: Save reusable prompts for brand voice, audience, or structure. Apply presets to selections or entire documents, then tune sliders for length, formality, and specificity.
• Document safety and review: Track recent changes with undo history and inline annotations. Lock sections during reviews, request revisions, and resolve comments to keep manuscripts moving toward sign-off.
• Audio and voice settings: Choose studio-grade voices and set rate, pitch, and pausing rules. Export clips for review, and keep pronunciation consistent with per-project dictionaries.
• Credits and usage controls: Monitor word, dictation, and narration balances in one panel. Add on packs when needed or grab a Day Pass for heavy work sessions without changing plans.
