About the text tools
Everyday help with words and lists, in English, Arabic and Urdu. The word counter counts words, characters, sentences and paragraphs as you type, with reading and speaking time and the limits of the places you post to. The case converter has thirteen cases, with title case that keeps small words small and acronyms in capitals. The list tools remove duplicate lines, sort alphabetically with natural number order, number and clean lists. The readability checker gives the Flesch, Gunning fog and other scores and the sentences that drag them down.
The Arabic and Urdu tools fill gaps the big text tools leave: remove tashkeel and tatweel from Arabic text, convert Arabic-Indic digits to Western ones and back, turn numbers into words in English, Arabic and Urdu in the form cheques and invoices use, and type Roman Urdu to get Urdu script. Typed text stays in the tab while you work and is forgotten when you close it; nothing is sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Is the text I paste stored?
Only in your own browser tab, so it is still there if you reload, and it is cleared when you close the tab. It is never sent to a server.
How is reading time calculated?
At 238 words a minute for English, the average adult reading speed in published studies, and 138 for Arabic, which reads more slowly per word; speaking time at 150 words a minute. The counter shows the figures it uses.
Does the word counter work for Arabic and Urdu?
Yes. It uses the browser’s own text segmentation, which knows where words and sentences begin in right-to-left scripts, and it counts Arabic-Indic digits as digits.
Which spelling does Number to Words use?
International (million, billion) or Indian (lakh, crore) in English, and the common or formal style in Arabic, chosen on the page. The amount pages add the currency and start with the currency of your region.
