What is Misread?

Misread is a text analysis tool that examines messages for signs of manipulation, gaslighting, and other harmful communication patterns. You paste a message into the scanner and it identifies potentially toxic language structures and behaviours. The tool recognises over 40 different patterns associated with emotional abuse, narcissistic behaviour, and manipulation tactics. It's useful for people trying to understand whether they're being treated fairly in conversations, or for reviewing your own messages before sending them to ensure you're communicating clearly and respectfully. The free tier gives you access to the core scanning functionality, making it accessible without requiring payment.
