The guide to
your voice engine.
How Noren works, what it costs, and how to get the most from your voice profile. Browse by topic or start with collecting your writing samples.
Chapter I
Gathering
your
writing.
20-100 samples total.
5-10 per format.
More formats beat
more volume.
Twitter / X
Copy 20-30 of your best tweets. Threads work especially well. Paste directly or save as a text file.
Activity tab, filter by Posts, copy 10-20 of your best. Long-form articles work especially well.
Blog / Substack
Copy published articles or export from your CMS. WordPress, Ghost, and Substack all have bulk export. Save as .txt or .md.
Sent folder, pick 10-20 emails that sound like you (not one-liners). Client emails, team updates, and investor memos all work.
Slack / Messages
Copy longer messages where you explained something, made a case, or gave feedback. Skip the one-word replies.
Anything else
Memos, product specs, newsletter drafts, forum posts, pitch decks. If you wrote it and it sounds like you, it counts.
Note
How much do I need?
20-100 samples total across any combination of sources. Aim for 5-10 per format. Ten tweets, ten emails, and ten blog posts will produce a better profile than fifty tweets alone.
Alternative
Don’t have much writing?

Product
What Noren does
Noren extracts your writing voice into a structured voice profile, then uses it to generate text that sounds like you. Think of it as a style guide the AI actually follows.
Download the desktop app or Chrome extension. During onboarding, you can paste writing samples, upload files, or do a guided interview if you don’t have samples ready. You’ll have a working voice profile in minutes.
A structured Markdown file that captures your writing patterns: sentence rhythms, word preferences, rhetorical moves, anti-patterns, and more. It’s human-readable and fully editable.
Brand voice tools extract tone and vocabulary. Noren extracts structural patterns: named rhetorical moves, analogy domains, micro-constructions, and anti-patterns. The result is an inspectable Markdown profile, not an opaque model. In side-by-side tests, Noren-generated text was near-indistinguishable from the original writer. Brand voice tools produced text that sounded “on brand” but not like a specific person.
Yes. Profiles are plain Markdown. You can edit them directly in the app to remove false patterns, add missing preferences, or tune how strongly certain habits are enforced. The engine suggests, you decide.
macOS desktop app (menu bar, Cmd+K from any text field) and Chrome extension.
Technical
Under the hood
You provide writing samples and Noren runs a multi-pass analysis: surface patterns, deep structure, cross-format comparison, quality verification. The output is a human-readable Markdown profile you can inspect and edit.
5-10 per format gets you basic patterns. 10-25 per format gives solid coverage. 25-50 per format catches subtle habits. Mix formats for the best results. If you only provide tweets, the profile will be tuned for short-form.
Noren includes a guided interview that walks you through a set of short prompts designed to capture your natural voice. No existing writing required. You’ll have enough for a baseline profile in under 10 minutes.
Typically 2-5 minutes depending on sample count. You’ll see progress as each stage completes.
Anthropic (Claude models, recommended), OpenAI (GPT-4 and later), Google (Gemini), and Ollama (local models, fully offline). Free tier users bring their own API key.
Yes. Configure Ollama as your provider and all extraction and generation runs locally. No data leaves your machine.
Pricing
Plans and billing
Anyone who signs up for Pro during the 2-week founding window (April 6–20) becomes a founding member. You start at $7/mo for 6 months, then move to a permanent rate of $12/mo (or $10/mo annual). You never pay the normal $19/mo price. The founding member status is tied to your account permanently, even if you cancel and re-subscribe later.
New Pro subscribers pay $19/mo (or $14/mo with annual billing at $168/yr). The founding member rate is only available during the 2-week founding window. Once it closes, the discounted rate is gone.
Yes, at any time. Founding members pay $12/mo monthly or $10/mo annual ($120/yr). Normal subscribers pay $19/mo monthly or $14/mo annual ($168/yr). The switch takes effect at your next billing cycle.
Generations reset monthly. 500 is more than enough for most writers. That’s about 16 per day. If you need more, contact us.
Yes. Your manual profile carries over. Pro adds automatic extraction, bundled inference, living profile refinement, and cross-device sync on top of what you already have.
Noren picks the best model for each generation automatically. You don’t have to choose.
Free tier: your prompts go directly to your chosen API provider. Noren never sees them. Pro tier: generation data is used for profile refinement and then discarded. Not stored long-term, not sold, not used for training.
Free tier users can buy a single AI extraction without subscribing to Pro. $19 during the founding window (April 6–20), $29 after. You get a full voice profile from your writing samples. The Markdown file is yours forever. No recurring charge.
One-time extraction gives you a single voice profile as a Markdown file. It’s yours forever, fully local. Pro includes extraction plus bundled inference (no API key needed), a living profile that improves over time, smart model routing, and 500 generations/month.
We distribute free Pro trial codes through specific channels. Each code gives you 14 days of Pro at no cost. During the trial, your profile powers generation and you can see a summary of what was extracted. The full profile and export become available when you subscribe.
Teams is coming soon. We’re building shared brand profiles and admin controls now. Contact us if you want early access. We’ll work with you directly.
