About these tools
The text tools work on whatever you type or paste. Count words and characters for an essay or a social media post, see a readability score for a draft, or generate Lorem Ipsum to fill a layout.
The speech tools use your browser's built-in speech features. Speech-to-text depends on the browser's speech recognition service, which in some browsers processes audio on the vendor's servers; text-to-speech uses the voices installed on your device. Each tool page explains which browsers support it.
Typical uses
Examples of everyday tasks these tools are built for.
Writers and students
Keeping an essay within a word limit, or checking that an article is easy to read.
Designers
Filling a mock-up with placeholder paragraphs.
Accessibility
Having a passage read aloud, or dictating notes instead of typing them.
Frequently asked questions
Is the text I paste saved?
No. Counting, readability scoring and the other text tools run in your browser. Speech recognition is the exception: your browser may send audio to its speech service to transcribe it.
How accurate are readability scores?
They are estimates based on sentence length and syllable counts. Use them to compare drafts, not as an exact measure of difficulty.
Why does speech-to-text not work in my browser?
Speech recognition is not available in every browser. It works in current Chrome and Edge; Firefox does not support it.
