Frequently asked questions
Is Syllable Counter free to use?
Yes. Syllable Counter is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Syllable Counter upload your file to a server?
No. Syllable Counter processes your file inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a limit on how much input I can use?
Syllable Counter handles inputs into the megabytes without trouble; the only real limit is how much your browser tab can hold in memory.
Do I need to install anything to use Syllable Counter?
No installation is needed. Syllable Counter runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Syllable Counter on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Syllable Counter interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your file when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Syllable Counter keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
