๐ŸŽŠCongratulations on your big launch on Product Hunt! ๐ŸŽŠ That's awesome! I'm already excited to try out all of these features. Could you share a few use cases where the rephrasing, character and word count, and translation features would be particularly useful? I'm also curious to learn more about the custom styles feature. What kind of fonts, colors and layouts can I customize? Can't wait to explore the new Talers 1.0 and see what other creative writing wonders await! ๐Ÿคฉ

@gabriel_nori Thank you Gabriel ๐Ÿ˜€ The most useful part of the translation feature is that all your styles remain applied, so it's perfect to internationalize articles, emails and documentations. The rephrasing is great whatever you're writing: sometimes you know a sentence is not that good, but you have no idea how to improve it. Just ask to rephrase it to help you find inspiration. We have a modern approach to custom styles when compared to classic writing applications: you cannot create custom styles "in the wild" to a random element; instead, you have to define a style, and then you can apply this style at different places of your document! This ensures your document integrity. We have quite a lot of possible customization, with borders, foreground and background colors, and we propose a set of some of the best fonts in different categories: handwriting, code, title, etc. It's not possible to add custom fonts yet, but we plan to implement it in future versions. The character and word count is a nice utility that was missing in the previous version, helping you to track your progression. See you on Talers ๐Ÿ˜‰

@aakanksha_kabra I hope Talers will help you organize your ideas and find the inspiration ๐Ÿ˜Œ Sometimes though the best way to get inspired is not to try to write, but to read an interesting book, discover a new place, or meet different people. Good luck, I'm sure you will find your flow again!

Matthieu, congratulations on the launch! ๐ŸŽŠ I enjoyed your informative video that shows product features from different sides. Talers is really helpful solution however it reminded me a lot Grammarly, a top player on writing assistance market. And in recent times ChatGPT also started to succeed with everything that's connected with text writing. As it seemed to me, folder organisation is one of the most appreciable feature that differs you from competitors - users have a chance to structure all text chaos by folders. What other significant features would you highlight as your most distinctive? And what other languages are available on your platform, and is Talers also coped with them as well as with English?
Erwan Salomon
@anna_sv Hello, One of our distinctive feature is the thesaurus! You can select any word of your choosing and browse through its most common synonyms. We will also implement real-time collaboration and some additional AI features. While those being more common, they will provide a complete writing environment and give a solid foundation for future versions. Talers is available in French and English for the interface, but 20+ languages are supported for proofreading and translation. Let me know if you have any additional questions

@erwan_salomon Erwan, thank you for a quick answer, everything became clear. Wish you good luck with further product development based on your large roadmap!

@anna_sv Thank you for your interest Anna ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Indeed, Talers is powered by the same type of proofreader as Grammarly. You can think of it as a Google Docs with Grammarly natively integrated, as well as some very useful features to help you write. In addition to folder organization, Talers has a built-in thesaurus. Double-click on any word in your texts to get the synonyms and antonyms, and browse the words until you find the one you need. You'll also appreciate the "focus" mode, which eliminates all distractions and lets you concentrate on what you are writing. Just follow the flow of your inspiration and add corrections later. The proofreader handle many languages, not just English. It works very well with Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, and provides basic correction for many other languages, such as Arabic, Japanese, Ukrainian, etc. You can set the language for each document. And you are absolutely right, GPT-like features are very useful for writing! We plan to integrate many AI features in the coming months, such as text generation, rephrasing with a given tone, summarization, text analysis and, for those who like it, context-aware autocompletion.
