Zo werkt het

This tool uses a vowel-group heuristic with handling for silent endings, the "-le" rule, and common irregular words.

Accuracy is around 95% for typical English text. Highly unusual spellings or non-English words will be approximated.

Sort the per-word table to find polysyllabic outliers in your writing.

Veelgestelde vragen

How is syllable counting done?

We use a vowel-group heuristic with handling for silent endings (e.g., "the", silent "e"), the "-le" suffix, and common irregular words. Accurate to within ~5% for typical English text.

Are non-English words counted?

Yes, but with reduced accuracy. The syllable counter falls back to a vowel-cluster heuristic that works across many languages.
