Voice fidelity

Also called: style fidelity, voice match

Voice fidelity is how closely generated text reproduces a specific author's measured patterns, evaluated by comparing the output's stylometric features against that author's corpus rather than by asking a reader whether it sounds right.

It is a comparison against your own measurements, which is what makes it checkable.

Quality and fidelity are independent. Output can be excellent prose and low fidelity, which is the ordinary failure of a capable assistant with no information about you. It can also be high fidelity and poor prose, which happens when a profile faithfully reproduces habits the author would rather drop.

Because fidelity is defined against a measurement, it can be reported per dimension. That is more useful than a single score: knowing that sentence rhythm matches but hedging is far too heavy tells you what to change, where a composite number does not.

DimensionMismatch reads as
Sentence complexitySentences too even, or subordinated past your habit
Vocabulary richnessReaching for words you do not use
ExpressivenessMore or less emphatic than you would be
FormalityCorrect content at the wrong distance from the reader
ConsistencyRegister drifting within one document
ConcisenessPadding, or clipped past the point of warmth
Fidelity dimensions and what a mismatch looks like in output

Frequently asked questions

How is voice fidelity measured?
By computing the same stylometric features on the generated text and on the author's corpus, then reporting the gap per dimension. MyWritingTwin uses six dimensions: sentence complexity, vocabulary richness, expressiveness, formality, consistency and conciseness.
Is high fidelity always the goal?
No. Authors often want their voice minus specific artefacts, such as second-language slips. The target is the distilled profile rather than the raw corpus.
Can a reader judge fidelity?
Readers judge plausibility, which is not the same thing and is heavily influenced by knowing the author. A measured comparison is the reason fidelity claims can be argued about at all.
