How it works
The flow should be simple enough to use quickly and structured enough to produce a useful publishing decision.
Add the manuscript or rough count
Paste the live text or enter a manual count when you only need production estimates for a draft still in progress.
Check the real text metrics
See words, characters, sentences, and paragraphs so the manuscript can be judged against publishing targets instead of guesswork.
Translate length into reading time
Use the reading and speaking estimates to plan blog posts, speeches, audiobook timing, or reader expectations.
Turn length into print planning
Review the trim-size page estimate before formatting, pricing, or deciding whether the manuscript is in the right lane.
