About the syllable counter
This counter uses a fast vowel-group heuristic: each run of consecutive vowels (a, e, i, o, u and y) counts as one syllable, a silent trailing e is removed when it would otherwise inflate the count, and a word with letters is never counted as fewer than one syllable. It is great for poetry, haiku, song lyrics, naming and quick readability checks, though unusual spellings may differ slightly from a dictionary.
Questions
Is anything uploaded?
No for this tool. The counting runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored.
How accurate is the syllable count?
It uses a vowel-group rule rather than a dictionary, so it is fast and works on any word, including made-up ones. Most common English words match, but irregular spellings can occasionally be off by one.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The same workspace adapts to smaller screens and keeps the text box and totals visible.
