LIVE BOOK PROOF
One book file
Draft, design, and proof stay connected
One manuscript. One production system.
Native WindowsLocal-firstBook-awarePrint-ready
The complete workflow
From the first sentence
to the final signature.
Most writing apps stop at words. OYAMA Scribe understands that a book is also structure, rhythm, typography, reference matter, and physical pages.
Design the whole volume
Set trim, margins, gutters, typography, chapter openings, running elements, and numbering from book-aware tools that share the same project.
Proof and deliver with confidence
Review fixed pages and complete spreads, run publishing preflight, then export production PDFs, editable DOCX files, or reflowable EPUB ebooks.
Built for complete books
The tools around the manuscript are part of the manuscript.
Use one native project to move from an opening page to running heads, reference matter, page numbering, and a finished export. The changes stay connected instead of becoming a collection of side files.
Book Design
Set the rules once.
Trim, margins, running pages, numbering, themes, and reference design are available where the book is being made.
Page Parts
Shape structural pages.
Build chapter openings, title pages, front matter, and recurring page templates with print-faithful previews.
Manuscript Overview
See the whole volume.
Inspect the book as connected spreads, jump to a section, and catch layout rhythm before delivery.
Built around the manuscript
See the book, not just the chapter.
Move through front matter, chapters, notes, and back matter without breaking concentration. Switch to Manuscript Overview whenever the shape of the whole volume matters.

- Draft, page, spread, and overview views

Inside OYAMA Scribe
One workspace for the entire book.
Each part of the application shares the same manuscript, structure, and production settings. There is no export-and-rebuild step between writing and page design.
01 / Running pages
Keep every printed page in conversation.
Set book titles, chapter titles, running heads, footers, and page-number rules from the Book Design workspace. The results are visible in the same proof used for the final book.
- Headers and footers by book area
- First-page and odd/even rules
- Separate page-number controls
02 / Page architecture
Control where the book begins.
Handle title pages, intentional blanks, right-hand chapter starts, front matter, and chapter openings with real book logic. OYAMA Scribe understands that page one belongs on the recto.
- Recto and verso placement
- Reusable opening templates
- Chapter-start rules
03 / Notes
Keep the apparatus attached to the text.
Create anchored footnotes and endnotes without leaving the manuscript. Search and filter notes, jump back to their anchors, and convert note types while numbering stays under control.
- Anchored notes
- Footnote and endnote conversion
- Persistent notes inspector
04 / Preflight
Inspect the geometry before printing.
Turn on safe-area, gutter, inside, and outside-edge guides to verify every page. Review headers, footers, folios, opening-page suppression, and binding behavior in the same proof used for final output.
- Safe-area and gutter guides
- Running heads and folios
- Whole-book pagination
