Syllable Counter, With Receipts
A browser-based counter for words, lines, poems, and poetic forms including haiku, tanka, limerick, and iambic pentameter.
Field notes
The tool distinguishes dictionary-backed counts from spelling-based estimates, showing an estimated label when a name, typo, slang term, or coinage is not found. Its method describes five steps, including stem handling for forms such as bus’s and cats, while line breaks remain the reporting unit. The browser creates plain-text and spreadsheet exports locally, and share links place the draft after the URL’s hash rather than sending it to the server.
