Caption readability checker: count words and long lines
Use this transparent counting aid to review a caption before sharing it. It shows word counts, sentence or line-fragment counts, character counts and two editing flags. The flags are prompts to review in context, not a reading-grade or performance score.
For: Creators and small teams who need a simple browser-based content workflow utility. Use it to: Count words and find a few long caption lines
Check caption counts and editing flags
Paste your caption to see word and sentence/line-fragment counts, Unicode code points, UTF-16 code units, average words per fragment, fragments over 25 words and words over 14 letters/digits. The rules are deliberately simple; use the flags as editing prompts, not a score.
This is a transparent counting aid, not a reading-grade or performance score. Words are letter/digit groups with internal apostrophes. Sentence boundaries use line breaks or a final period, question mark or exclamation mark followed by whitespace. Abbreviations can affect counts.
Review the 25-word and 14-letter flags in context. They are editing prompts, not errors. Emoji can contain several code points.

Worked example
Example caption: “New notes for the week. One small idea, ready to share!” The tool counts words and sentence/line fragments, reports code points and UTF-16 code units, and flags only fragments over 25 words or words over 14 letters/digits.
What it does and does not do
- Words are Unicode letter/digit groups with internal apostrophes. Sentence/fragment boundaries use line breaks or . ! ? followed by whitespace or end of input.
- The report includes code-point and UTF-16-code-unit counts; emoji may contain multiple code points. Abbreviations can affect sentence counts.
- This is not a reading-grade, engagement, conversion or ranking score. Text stays in the browser.
