TextLab: TextLab is 52 free text tools in one tab, with no signup: count words, characters, sentences and syllables, change letter case, clean up messy text, sort and reverse lists, score readability, and translate to Morse code, binary or Roman numerals. Every tool works in your browser as you type. The tools themselves are JavaScript programs that run on your own machine, so JavaScript has to be enabled before any of them will count or convert anything.
