Count syllables in any word or full text instantly. Get total syllables, a per-word breakdown, syllables per minute and estimated reading time.
Enter text above to see the syllable count for each word.
Each syllable contains exactly one vowel sound. The tool groups consecutive vowels into a single syllable (beat = 1, create = 2), drops silent final e (hope = 1 but hoping = 2), counts le endings (table = 2), and applies special rules for common irregulars like fire, poem and quiet.
