Built at the Translation Desk

Managing multiple book translation projects across different publishing houses quickly reveals gaps in standard software available to literary translators. Commercial CAT tools treat long-form literature like technical manuals, while keeping track of deadlines and daily targets often devolved into endless manual calculations.

pagenorma was created directly at the translation desk to cut through that daily hassle and give literary translators complete control over their workflow, finances, and prose consistency.

What Makes pagenorma Different?

1. Dynamic Daily Pacing

Instead of static schedules that break the moment life happens, pagenorma reads progress directly from your active document—whether you write in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. It compares your current word, character, or standard page count against your source file (ePub, PDF) and project deadline, giving you a real-time, dynamic daily target to keep you comfortably on track.

2. Income & Financial Insights

Freelance literary translation requires clear financial foresight. pagenorma translates your daily character or word targets into real-time earnings forecasts for every active project, helping you track monthly revenue as you translate.

3. Deep Narrative Consistency & AI-Powered QA

Long-form prose demands meticulous stylistic and narrative continuity. pagenorma automatically extracts a glossary and concordance index directly from your translation as you work. With searchable side-by-side views, inline commentary, and AI-powered QA, verifying key terminology, recurring idioms, and voice consistency has never been smoother.

Local First & Privacy Focused

We believe your translated manuscripts and proprietary terminology belong strictly to you. pagenorma operates as a Progressive Web Application (PWA) with a local-first philosophy:

Your data stays with you: Progress tracking and text analysis happen locally in your browser workspace.
No model training: Your manuscripts are never harvested, rented, or used to train third-party machine learning models.
Offline capability: Access your pacing tools and work dashboard even when you are working offline.
