Syllable Counter (Count Syllables in Any Word or Sentence)

Syllable Counter
Paste in a word, a sentence, or a whole paragraph, and I’ll count the syllables in every word plus the total for the whole text. Useful for drilling word stress, writing a haiku that actually fits the 5–7–5 pattern, or settling an argument about how many syllables are really in “vegetable.”

Word by Word
This counts syllables by looking at spelling patterns, not a dictionary, so it’s an estimate rather than a certainty — unusual words, names, and foreign loanwords are the most likely to get miscounted.
