PrePublish
Free YouTube script check - catch it before you record
About PrePublish
PrePublish inverts the normal YouTube feedback loop. YouTube Studio is retrospective by design: it tells you where viewers left after you have already written, filmed, edited and published the video, at which point the expensive work is done and the only remaining option is to do better next time. PrePublish reads the script instead, before a camera is switched on, and reports where the writing is most likely to lose attention. Catching a twenty-two second preamble at the script stage costs nothing. Catching it in the retention graph costs an entire production.
The tool performs two distinct reads in a single pass. The first is an attention analysis producing scores for hook, structure and pacing plus a script-level attention-risk map, with the biggest leak quoted back from your own lines and a concrete suggestion for fixing it. The second is a policy pre-flight that names which categories in the published YouTube guidelines your text matches, which is the difference between discovering a monetisation problem now and discovering it after upload. A free tier runs the basic check with no login at all. Paid tiers add copy-paste rewrites, title suggestions, PDF export and saved history, and the audit carries a guarantee of at least three fixable problems or your money back.
Paste your script into the free checker, with no account required, and it returns hook, structure and pacing scores alongside an attention-risk map plotted across the runtime of the video. The map identifies the single biggest leak and quotes the offending lines directly, so the feedback points at real text rather than offering general advice. Alongside it, the policy pre-flight lists the guideline categories your wording matches, with suggested rewordings for the flagged passages. On a paid plan you also receive copy-paste rewrites for the hook and the pacing problems, alternative title suggestions, a PDF report and a saved history of every draft you have run. Channel owners can scan past uploads instead of a new script to find patterns across a back catalogue.
- •Script Attention-Risk Map - A timeline across the video showing where the writing is most likely to shed viewers, with the largest leak located and quoted
- •Hook, Structure and Pacing Scores - Three separate scores rather than one opaque number, so you know which dimension the script is failing on
- •Policy Pre-Flight - Flags passages matching categories in the published YouTube guidelines and suggests rewordings, before the upload rather than after
- •Copy-Paste Rewrites - Concrete before-and-after rewrites for the hook and pacing issues, not general advice about being more engaging
- •Title Rewrite Suggestions - Alternative titles generated against the same script analysis
- •Free Check With No Login - The core script check runs without an account, a credit card, or an email address
- •Back Catalogue Scanning - Analyse a channel's existing uploads to find recurring structural problems across past videos
- •PDF Export and Saved History - Reports export for sharing with editors or collaborators, and every draft analysis is retained on paid plans
Built for YouTube creators who script before filming and want the edit decided on paper, where changes are free. It suits channels investing real production money per video, where a weak first thirty seconds wastes a whole shoot, and creators whose retention graphs consistently show an early cliff they cannot diagnose. Faceless and educational channels working from full written scripts get the most from it. Anyone who has had a video demonetised or limited after upload will find the policy pre-flight the more valuable of the two reads.
