Syllable counter for lyrics

Paste your lyrics. Each line's syllable count shows up live, so you can spot the line that rushes or drags before you're in the booth.

Why syllables matter

Lines that sit in the same syllable range fit the same pocket on the beat. When one line has 6 syllables and the next has 14, you either rush or stretch. Keep lines close, then break the pattern on purpose when you want a moment to hit.

How wack are your lyrics?

Paste a verse into the Wackometer. It scores it from Wicked to Wack, circles the clichés and lazy rhymes, and shows you how to fix them.
