What tools and features does WritePadPro include?
WritePadPro includes 38+ tools across four categories: Analyze (16 tools — Top Keywords, Keyword Density with visual bars, 5 Readability Scores, Sentence-Level Highlighting, Passive Voice Detection, Character Limits for 8 platforms, Word Frequency Chart, Vocabulary Analysis, Find & Replace with regex, and more), Cleanup (8 tools — remove extra spaces, line breaks, duplicates, punctuation, numbers, empty lines, HTML tags, and trim whitespace), Convert (8 tools — UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, Sentence case, Reverse, Sort A-Z, Sort Z-A, Shuffle), and Export (6 options — Copy to Clipboard, Download .TXT, Download .HTML, Export as PDF, Print, and Read Aloud). Plus a full rich text editor with 23 formatting options, multi-sheet tabs, 5 smart content modes, and 11 real-time statistics.
How do the real-time statistics work?
As you type or paste text, the stats sidebar instantly updates 11 metrics: Words, Characters (with and without spaces), Sentences, Paragraphs, Lines, Reading Time (at 200 WPM), Speaking Time (at 150 WPM), Estimated Pages (at 250 words/page), Flesch Readability Score (0-100), and Grade Level (5th Grade to Graduate). All calculations happen in real-time with zero delay — no button clicks required.
What are the 5 smart content modes?
WritePadPro automatically adapts its analysis based on your content type. Auto-Detect intelligently detects your content type. SEO Mode shows Google title length (60 char limit), meta description length (160 chars), top keyword, and stop word ratio with visual progress bars. Blog/Article Mode shows readability score, passive voice count, vocabulary richness percentage, and content length grade. Academic Mode shows estimated pages (double and single-spaced), citation detection, and presentation speaking time. Headline Mode analyzes character length, power word presence, question format, and number usage for headline optimization.
What readability scores does WritePadPro calculate?
WritePadPro calculates 6 industry-standard readability formulas — more than any competing tool: Flesch Reading Ease (0-100 scale, higher = easier), Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (US grade equivalent), Gunning Fog Index (years of education needed), Coleman-Liau Index (character-based grade level), SMOG Index (based on polysyllabic word count), and Automated Readability Index (ARI) (characters per word based). Each score displays with a color-coded visual bar and an overall combined average. Access all 6 scores via the "5 Readability Scores" button in the Analyze tab.
How does sentence-level readability highlighting work?
Click "Sentence Highlighting" in the Analyze tab. WritePadPro color-codes every sentence by difficulty: green for easy (short sentences, simple words), yellow for medium (moderate complexity), and red for hard (long sentences, complex vocabulary). This works exactly like the Hemingway Editor — helping you spot and simplify difficult sentences. The "Passive Voice Check" tool separately detects and highlights passive voice constructions with specific suggestions to rewrite in active voice.
What formatting options does the rich text editor include?
The toolbar provides 23 formatting controls: Font Family (Arial, Georgia, Times New Roman, Courier New, Verdana), Font Size (Small, Normal, Large, Huge), Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Text Color picker, Highlight Color picker, Align Left/Center/Right, Bullet List, Numbered List, Indent/Outdent, Subscript, Superscript, Insert Link, Horizontal Rule, Blockquote, Heading Levels (H1-H4 + Normal), Undo/Redo, Clear Formatting, and Select All. Rich text paste is supported with automatic HTML sanitization for security.
How does multi-sheet editing work?
WritePadPro starts with 4 sheet tabs (Sheet 1-4) and you can create unlimited additional sheets by clicking the "+ Add Sheet" button. Each sheet maintains its own independent content, formatting, and statistics. Switch between sheets instantly — your text and formatting are preserved. This is perfect for comparing drafts, working on multiple documents, or organizing different sections of a larger project side by side.
What character limits does WritePadPro track?
Click "Character Limits" in the Analyze tab to see your text length against 8 platform limits with live progress bars: Google Title Tag (60 chars), Meta Description (160 chars), SMS Message (160 chars), Twitter/X Post (280 chars), Instagram Caption (2,200 chars), LinkedIn Post (3,000 chars), and Facebook Post (63,206 chars). Each bar is color-coded — blue when safe, yellow when approaching the limit, and red when over the limit with an exact overage count.
How do the keyword and vocabulary analysis tools work?
WritePadPro offers multiple keyword analysis tools: Top Keywords shows your 15 most-used keywords (excluding stop words) with frequency counts. Keyword Bars adds visual gradient bars showing relative density. Keyword Density shows percentage calculations for SEO optimization (aim for 1-3%). Word Frequency Chart visualizes all word usage with horizontal bar charts. Vocabulary Analysis provides a deep dive including Type-Token Ratio (vocabulary richness), unique word count, average word length, rare words (words appearing only once), and a word-length distribution histogram. Stop Word Analysis shows your stop word percentage.
Does WritePadPro have Find & Replace?
Yes. Click "Find & Replace" in the Analyze tab. It supports plain text search and regular expressions (regex) with a toggle switch. You can enable case-sensitive matching. Use Find Next to jump to matches, Replace to replace one at a time, or Replace All to replace every occurrence instantly. A live counter shows the total number of matches found.
What export and download options are available?
The Export tab offers 6 options: Copy to Clipboard (plain text), Download .TXT (plain text file), Download .HTML (preserves all rich text formatting), Export as PDF (opens a formatted print-ready view — select "Save as PDF" in your browser's print dialog), Print (direct printing with clean layout), and Read Aloud (text-to-speech using your browser's built-in voice — click again to stop). All exports work entirely offline with zero server involvement.
Does my work auto-save?
Yes. WritePadPro automatically saves your work to your browser's local storage (IndexedDB) every few seconds. When you revisit the page within 24 hours, your text, formatting, and sheet data are automatically restored with a confirmation message. No account or cloud storage needed — everything stays on your device. This protects against accidental tab closures or browser crashes.
Is my text private and secure?
Absolutely. WritePadPro is built with privacy by architecture. All 38+ tools run 100% in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your text is never transmitted to any server, never stored in any remote database, never processed by any API, and never shared with any third party. There is no account system, no cloud sync, and no tracking. Even the auto-save feature stores data only on your device. Your content is yours alone.
Can I use WritePadPro on mobile devices?
Yes. WritePadPro is fully responsive and optimized for all screen sizes. On mobile, the stats sidebar collapses into a compact grid, the toolbar wraps to fit your screen, and the editor adapts to your viewport. Touch targets are sized for comfortable finger tapping. It works on iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, Chromebooks, laptops, and desktop monitors. Dark and Light themes are both available on all devices.
How does the text-to-speech Read Aloud feature work?
Click "Read Aloud" in the Export tab. WritePadPro uses your browser's built-in Web Speech API to read your text out loud at natural speed. Click the button again to stop. This is useful for proofreading (hearing mistakes your eyes miss), accessibility, and estimating speaking time for presentations. No internet connection or API is required — it uses voices already installed on your device.
