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.
Design the whole volume
Set trim, margins, gutters, typography, chapter openings, running elements, and numbering from one book-aware workspace.
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.
- Structured book navigator
- Continuous draft and page views
- Focused, familiar editing tools
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 / 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
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
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
