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, and physical pages.

01

Write without losing the book

A responsive long-form editor, section navigation, autosave, recovery, and live manuscript statistics keep the work moving.

02

Design the whole volume

Set trim, margins, gutters, typography, chapter openings, running elements, and numbering from one book-aware workspace.

03

Proof the pages that print

Review fixed pages and complete spreads with recto/verso logic, binding guides, page furniture, and true book pagination.

Built around the manuscript

Stay inside the work.

Move through front matter, chapters, notes, and back matter without breaking concentration. Every section remains part of the same living book.

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.

Book Theme Builder for reading typography and paragraph settings
01 / Typography

Build a reusable visual language.

Choose the body typeface, size, line height, paragraph spacing, first-line indent, alignment, and manuscript heading styles. A print-faithful preview shows how the settings work on the active trim size.

  • Reusable named themes
  • Book-wide or section-level application
  • Live reading-text preview
Opening spread with inside front cover and title page placement
02 / Page architecture

Control where the book begins.

Handle title pages, intentional blanks, right-hand chapter starts, front matter, and opening spreads with real book logic. OYAMA Scribe understands that page one belongs on the recto.

  • Recto and verso placement
  • Intentional blank pages
  • Chapter-start rules
Footnotes and endnotes workspace beside the manuscript
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
Two-page proof with safe area, binding gutter, and outside-edge guides
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
Two-page spread proof with binding and recto verso guides
SPREAD PROOFSee the book
as readers will.

Production without guesswork
