Beta Reader Lab turns casual reading notes into useful, structured feedback. Highlight the exact passage, tag what you noticed, leave a comment, then return it all to the author in one portable feedback file.
The rain had been falling since noon, turning the platform silver beneath the station lights.
Marcus stopped at the doorway. Someone had moved the suitcase.

Beta Reader Lab gives readers a simple structure without turning beta reading into homework.
Create a project and import the author's manuscript text.
Navigate chapters with automatic progress syncing. When you reopen the app, your exact position is restored. For audio review, select the Read Aloud option to listen for errors or pacing issues.
Simply highlight the passage you want to respond to. A feedback window appears instantly, ready for you to choose a tag and leave your comment.
Export a portable .brl feedback file containing comments and big-picture feedback for the author.
Instead of forcing every observation into the same comment box, Beta Reader Lab lets you tag feedback by type. Authors can see not only what you said, but what kind of issue or reaction you were flagging.
Beta Reader Lab is designed to run locally. The manual specifies that manuscript text, projects and feedback are stored locally rather than sent to a server.
Beta Reader Lab is the free companion app for readers who want to give authors feedback they can actually work with.
