Writing a novel or report requires balancing the pacing of your sections. This add-on scans your document structure (Headings 1 through 4) to build a live interactive dashboard.

Reading Time

Automatically calculates how long it will take to read your document based on standard reading speeds.

📑

Deep Structure

Detects not just Chapter titles (Heading 1), but also sub-sections (Heading 2, 3, and 4) for granular tracking.
