What is Syllable Counter?

Counts syllables in each word and across your full text. Useful for poets writing haiku, sonnets, or metered verse, and for checking readability or timing a speech.

How to use

1. Type or paste your text into the input area — words, sentences, or full paragraphs.
2. See the total syllable count and a per-word breakdown.
3. Use the results for poetry meter checking, readability scoring, or speech timing estimates.

Result

A poet types 'The ancient oak tree whispers softly in the wind' and sees: The(1) an-cient(2) oak(1) tree(1) whis-pers(2) soft-ly(2) in(1) the(1) wind(1) — 12 syllables total, perfect for adjusting meter.
