Getting Started with Scripta: Learn How Good Writing Is Built, Then Write Your Own

Pick the kind of writing you actually need: an exam answer, an academic paragraph, or a professional message. A clear use makes the structure you learn more likely to carry into your own writing.

The target language is what you will write. The cue language helps with meaning and structure. Choose the same language to get cues in that language instead of a translation.

Paste the text and give it a title. A collection keeps writing with the same purpose and its practice record together. If you do not have a text yet, import a public-domain template: its paragraphs and sentences are already split, so you can begin at zero credits.

For your own text, press Prepare for study: AI splits it into paragraphs, sentences, and meaning chunks and adds meaning cues (4 credits per 2,000 characters). When it finishes you can start right away. Without credits, paragraphs and sentences are split by rule and practice is ready at once.

① Learn the example: read the target sentence with its meaning, word glosses, and audio, and annotate it. Copy it while looking, then write it with it covered and get graded against the original. ② Structure: see the sentence’s frame and technique. The frame is the sentence’s meaning chunks, one per line, with the content swapped for slots such as “who”. The technique is one line on how the sentence works, reusable with other content. An ungraded scratch pad is there too.

③ My sentence: with the example hidden, write your own sentence with the same frame, about your own experience, answering the text’s task. Grading checks whether you kept the frame and your grammar, not whether you matched the original. The goal is not memorising; it is being able to use a good sentence’s build in your own words.

After a few sentences of a paragraph have gone through the three steps, the paragraph comes next. In ② Structure you see what the paragraph does and its sentence plan: each sentence’s job, such as “topic sentence” or “reason 1”, with advice on how to write it. In ③ My paragraph you write your own in the same order. Grading checks whether each role is filled and your grammar.

The task and its meaning in your language appear in ② and ③. AI prepares the task, each paragraph’s role, and each sentence’s frame: the structure guide costs 1 credit per text, and frames cost 1 credit per 4. You can edit the task under Add & prepare texts → the ⋯ menu next to the text → Set the task.

When every paragraph of a text is done, the whole text goes through the same three steps. ① In Learn the example you recall the whole example text from its paragraph summaries. ② Text structure shows what each paragraph does, its gist, and how the paragraphs connect. ③ My own text asks you to write the same task as one whole text about your own story. Your finished paragraphs are already filled in, in order, as a draft, so you do not start from a blank page: you join and revise them into one piece. Grading checks whether you met the task, whether each paragraph does its job, how the paragraphs connect, and your grammar. It does not rewrite the text for you; it gives a short direction for each paragraph. Passing it completes the text.

Take the exam from the Exam card on the collection page. You get a task of the same kind as the collection’s example texts, but one you have not seen, and a 40-minute timer unless the task sets its own time. There are no frames, roles, or examples: only the task, and you write from start to finish. Grading uses the same standard as My own text, points to your weakest paragraph role, and links to example paragraphs that do that role well so you can practise it. The exam opens as soon as one text in the collection has a task, and the card shows how many example texts you have finished through your own text, so you can judge how ready you are. Grading My own text or an exam costs the same as text grading: 1 credit each time.

Continue takes the text paragraph by paragraph: a few sentences of a paragraph, then that paragraph, then the next one. When a text’s paragraphs are all done, its My own text comes before the next text. The practice header shows where you are, such as “Text › Paragraph 2 › Sentence 3 / 8”. On the collection page, the text map shows each paragraph’s sentences as dots (passed, retry, not yet), each paragraph as written, rewrite, or not yet, and marks “You are here”. Tap a paragraph to continue from it.

Today follows your study plan, and the daily goal can be counted in paragraphs, for example three a day. When you want to choose the level and order yourself, use free practice: your place in Continue stays put, and the record counts the same.
