Counts that update as you type
See characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs and reading time at once. The syllable counter agrees with a pronouncing dictionary on about 97 in 100 words.

How these tools work
Your text stays private
Text is analysed in the browser. The typing test is the only tool that talks to our server, and it sends just your speed and accuracy as two numbers.
Built for real tasks
Check an essay against a word limit, fit a post into X's character count, compare two drafts line by line, or keep notes that save in this browser.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does the word counter store my text?+
No. Counting happens in your browser and nothing you paste is sent to us. The online notepad keeps notes in this browser's local storage so they are there next time; nothing is synced.
How are characters counted for X?+
The X counter follows X's own rules, where every link counts as 23 characters and some characters, such as Chinese or emoji, count double.
Can I retake the typing test?+
Yes, as often as you like. Each result is compared with tests taken in the last hour, and those scores are deleted after an hour.

Other categories
Everything runs in your browser, so a signed contract never leaves your computer. Most of these take files up to 75 MB and 500 pages.
Business
Invoices, receipts and quotes print to an A4 PDF straight from the page. The CV maker and Kanban board save as you go, in this browser rather than an account.
Documents
Draw a signature with a mouse, trackpad or finger, or type one, then download it as a transparent PNG, an SVG or a JPG.
Images
Nine of these send the image to our server, where it is converted in memory and not kept. The other eight, including HEIC to JPG and the cropper, never upload anything.
Finance
Loans, mortgages, take-home pay, sales tax, tips, a monthly budget and a splitter for shared costs. The budget and the group ledgers are saved in this browser.
Calculators
The biggest section: dates, ages, grades, units, sleep cycles, dice and timers, plus a scientific calculator that handles complex numbers and solves equations.
Developer
JSON, regex, hashes, UUIDs, JWTs and subnets, plus tests for your keyboard, click speed, dead pixels and refresh rate.
Music
A metronome with swing and accents, a pitch pipe, tap tempo, the circle of fifths, and a transposer that reads ChordPro chord sheets.
Audio and video
Check a microphone, speakers or webcam before a call, watch sound on a spectrum analyzer, or record from your webcam. Recordings stay in the tab until you save them.
Crypto
Profit and loss, DCA, staking, gas fees and liquidation prices. Nothing connects to a wallet or a price feed; you type the numbers in.
