voice profile overview

a voice profile captures how you write — vocabulary, rhythm, transitions, and guardrails — so hyv can score and rewrite against your real voice.

quick answer

read before creating or editing profiles.

use this for

  • understanding what a profile contains
  • deciding between init vs new
  • explaining profiles to an ai assistant

steps

  1. profiles live locally and sync to your account when logged in.
  2. build with hyv init (guided) or hyv new <name> (manual).
  3. edit with hyv profile commands or the dashboard companion.
  4. use profiles with hyv rewrite, hyv fix, and hyv reinforce.

details to know

  • profiles are not generic style presets — they learn from your samples.
  • multiple profiles are supported on the multiple plan ($29/mo).

limits and edge cases

  • profiles need enough writing samples to be useful — thin samples produce thin results.
  • free scan works without a profile; profile-backed rewrite requires a paid plan.
