Each tool does one job well and runs entirely in your browser. For everything at once, use the editor.

Paste or type: words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, keywords and reading time update as you write.

Character counter

Characters as readers see them, plus a live check against platform limits, SMS segments, and title and description lengths.

Readability checker

Six readability formulas side by side, the counts behind them, and the sentences that pull your score down.

Sentence length checker

Every sentence as a bar, in order. Spot the long ones, check your average, and see whether your rhythm varies.

Passive voice finder

Highlights likely passive constructions and shows who is doing the action when your sentence names them.

Cliché finder

Marks stock phrases and corporate jargon, and suggests what to say instead.

Reading time calculator

Enter a word count or paste your text to see how long it takes to read silently or to deliver as a talk.
