What can Tally count?
Tally counts words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, timing metrics, and repeated words.
Can I paste raw text?
Yes. Paste or type directly into the main editor and the values update immediately.
Can I upload documents?
Yes. The tool supports TXT, DOC, DOCX, PDF, CSV, XLS, and XLSX files.
Can I analyze a webpage?
Yes. Use a public URL and the tool will attempt to fetch readable page text for counting.
Does it show repeated words?
Yes. The stats view highlights common repeated words and displays a simple frequency list.
Does it estimate reading time?
Yes. It shows both reading and speaking time so content can be planned for different formats.
Why show source details?
Source labels help users remember whether the active text came from a file, site, or direct input.
Is the homepage enough on its own?
Yes, but the extra pages provide more context, feature framing, and guidance around the tool.
Can I share the results?
Yes. Use the copy button on the main workspace to export a quick stats summary.
Who is this useful for?
Writers, students, editors, marketers, and anyone checking content length or writing structure.
What if a webpage fails?
Some sites block fetching. If that happens, try another public page or paste the text directly.
Where do I start?
Open the tool from the nav and use the mode that matches your content source.
