The Original RAW INPUT

Emma was nervous about seeing Jake again. She still loved him but wasn't sure if he felt the same way. When he walked into the coffee shop, her heart raced. They needed to talk about what happened last week. She hoped they could work things out.

Word Count 53

Starting point: Simple prose with no specific details. No brands, no measurements, no colors. Generic placeholders.

Sparse LEVEL 1

Emma waited. Jake entered. Her heart raced. They needed to talk. Last week lingered. She hoped.

Voice Clarity 85%

Word Count 14

Detail approach: Stripped to essence. No physical description at all. Just action verbs and emotional beats. Maximum velocity, zero ornamentation. The reader fills in every visual. Voice Clarity at 85% reflects intentional deviation from baseline.

Hyper-Detailed LEVEL 10

Emma—twenty-nine years old, five-foot-four, one hundred twenty-five pounds, with shoulder-length auburn hair (dyed, natural color dark brown, roots showing approximately half an inch), wearing a navy blue cashmere sweater (100% cashmere, purchased from J.Crew, slightly pilled at the elbows from frequent wear), black skinny jeans (Levi's, size 27, faded from multiple washes), and scuffed brown leather ankle boots (Frye, purchased 2019, left heel slightly worn)—felt a fluttering in her stomach, akin to a swarm of butterflies trapped in a jar, as she anticipated Jake's arrival.

Her heart, a metronome gone awry, thudded against her ribcage with the force of a jackhammer. Jake—six-foot-two, broad-shouldered, with tousled dark hair and a five o'clock shadow that hinted at ruggedness—entered the coffee shop, the doorbell chiming a soft, melodic note. The air between them, charged with unspoken words and unresolved tension, seemed to vibrate with the intensity of a live wire.

Last week's argument, a cacophony of raised voices and hurtful words, lingered in her mind like a stubborn stain. She clung to the hope that their conversation today could untangle the knots of misunderstanding and pave the way for reconciliation.

Voice Clarity 88%

Word Count 198

Detail approach: Catalogued specificity. Age, height, weight ("twenty-nine years old, five-foot-four, one hundred twenty-five pounds"). Brand names (J.Crew, Levi's, Frye). Hair history ("dyed, natural color dark brown, roots showing approximately half an inch"). Wear patterns ("slightly pilled at the elbows," "left heel slightly worn"). Every object has a biography. Voice Clarity at 88% reflects intentional deviation from baseline.

🎬 THE KEY TAKEAWAY

Description Detail controls how much the reader sees—from sparse fragments to catalogued richness.

Level 1 = Sparse (14 words, essential beats only)
Level 10 = Hyper-detailed (198 words, brand names, measurements, histories)

You decide the density. Fast-paced thriller? Sparse. Literary immersion? Detailed. That's descriptive control.

About Voice Clarity: The Romance Fiction preset is calibrated for optimal voice preservation. When you push sliders to extreme positions (1 or 10), Voice Clarity drops—that's intentional. The Equalizer measures how far you've deviated from your baseline voice, so you always know. That's not a flaw. That's integrity.
