Getting Started with Scripta — From One Text to a Cortex

Scripta does not replace a blank page with generated writing. It turns one piece of writing you value into repeated practice until its structure and phrasing are available to you.

Choose the text and language pair

Pick the kind of writing you actually need: an exam answer, an academic paragraph, or a professional message. A clear use makes transfer more likely.

The target language is what you will write. The cue language helps with meaning and structure. Choose the same language to use recall cues instead of translation.

Put the text in a cortex

Paste the text and give it a title. A cortex 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 prepared structure costs zero credits and sentence practice is ready immediately.

Check the structure preview

For your own text, AI previews paragraphs, sentences, and meaning chunks. Check paragraph count, sentence boundaries, and whether cues preserve each line’s job before applying it.

Structure generation may use credits. Fix unclear paragraph breaks in the source rather than applying a poor split.

Move from sentence to paragraph to whole text

Rebuild sentences from meaning first, then paragraphs without the source, then the order of the entire text in one run.

Passed items leave the default queue while stalled items remain. Leaving a session preserves the item where you stopped.

Let a plan choose the next practice

Add the cortex to a plan and set a daily goal. Separate exam, academic, and professional goals when they need different calendars.

Do not begin with several long texts. Finishing one from sentence to whole text gives you a reliable standard for the next cortex.

For a first run, use one prepared template and begin sentence practice without waiting for structure generation.

Now bring one piece of writing and start.
