About Silent Scribe

Our Mission

At Silent Scribe, we believe that powerful writing assistance shouldn't come at the cost of privacy. We're building the writing assistant that developers and technical writers have been waiting for—one that combines the advanced capabilities of specialized tools like Vale with the intuitive user experience of mainstream assistants like Grammarly, all while keeping your content completely private through local processing.

The Problem We're Solving

The Current Dilemma

Today, developers and technical writers face an impossible choice:

• Easy but Limited: Tools like Grammarly are user-friendly but lack technical context, can't enforce custom style guides, and require sending your content to cloud servers
• Powerful but Complex: Tools like Vale offer incredible customization and local processing but require significant setup time and technical expertise

The Cost of Poor Documentation

Research shows that developers spend up to 17 hours per week dealing with technical debt and maintenance issues, often caused by poor documentation. This translates to nearly $85 billion annually in lost productivity across the global software industry.

• 18% longer feature release cycles for companies with poor documentation
• 10x increase in cost to fix defects found late due to misaligned docs
• 38% of developers cite poor documentation as a top reason for leaving a company
