Text & Writing Tools

Six tools for working with words: counting them, converting their case, translating Markdown and HTML, generating filler and testing your typing speed. Everything updates live as you type, locally in your browser.

Count, convert and reformat text

The Word Counter tracks words, characters, sentences, paragraphs and estimated reading time live as you type or paste — useful for hitting a meta description limit, a character-capped bio or an essay word count without repeatedly re-checking. The Case Converter switches text between UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, camelCase, snake_case and more, which spares you retyping a heading that arrived in the wrong case or renaming a batch of identifiers by hand. Both respond instantly because there is no round trip: the text never leaves the page you are typing on.

Two converters translate between the web’s writing formats. Markdown to HTML renders your Markdown with a live preview and hands you clean markup for a CMS, an email or a static page. HTML to Markdown goes the other way — and it also accepts rich text pasted straight from a web page, which is the fastest route for moving existing content into a Markdown-based docs site or blog. When a layout needs realistic-looking text before the real copy exists, the Lorem Ipsum Generator produces placeholder paragraphs, sentences or words to order.

Measure your typing speed

The Typing Speed Test measures words per minute over a one-minute run with live accuracy tracking — no sign-up, no ads between attempts, just a number to beat. Because it runs locally, the timing is honest: keystrokes are measured in your browser rather than round-tripped through a server. Average typists land around 40 WPM and fast ones above 70, and the accuracy figure is worth watching as closely as the speed — errors cost more time than slow typing does.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Word Counter count the same way as Microsoft Word?

Very close, but not always identical — tools differ on edge cases like hyphenated compounds, numbers and stray punctuation. For a 500-word assignment the difference is at most a word or two; if a hard limit matters, leave a small margin.

Can I convert a whole web page to Markdown?

Yes — select the content on the page, copy it, and paste it into the HTML to Markdown Converter. It accepts rich text directly from the clipboard, so you do not need to view source or extract the HTML yourself.

Is the text I paste stored anywhere?

No. Text is processed in your browser as you type and exists only on the page; nothing is sent to a server or saved, and it is gone when you close the tab. That makes these tools safe for unpublished drafts and confidential copy.
