What you can do
- Character counts and targets
- See total counts and counts excluding spaces or line breaks. Set a target and follow your progress.
- Line-by-line mora counts
- Lyrics mode counts the kana-based rhythmic units of each line. Small ゃ・ゅ・ょ combine with the preceding kana; small vowels have a separate counting option.
- Writing modes
- Choose Japanese prose, lyrics, social posts, YouTube descriptions or general writing. Readability indicators include average sentence length and kanji ratio.
- Drafts and revisions
- Compare counts with a snapshot, keep text in three temporary slots and export a TXT file.
Get started
- Open TALLY and type, paste or import a text file with OPEN.
- Choose Lyrics mode to see mora counts. For a lyric written in kanji, enter its intended reading in kana when checking the sound count.
- Edit while comparing line lengths. Export important drafts with SAVE .txt.
Before you start
Mora analysis does not automatically convert kanji to readings and ignores non-kana text apart from supported long-sound marks. A mora count is a writing aid, not a count of musical beats or notes. Browser storage is local to this browser and can be cleared; export a backup.
