Description
From the marketplace listing
Zovo Word Counter gives exact counts for any text you paste into the chat: words, characters with and without spaces, letters, sentences, paragraphs, lines, and unique words. Every number comes from documented, deterministic rules instead of an estimate, so a 1,500-word essay limit or a 280-character post is checked precisely.
For students and academic writers: count words without citations. Zovo Word Counter can leave out APA and MLA in-text citations such as (Smith, 2020) or (Smith 23), quoted passages, headings, and the reference list or works cited, then shows how many words each exclusion removed. Check a minimum and maximum word count and see exactly where to cut.
For writers, speakers, and marketers: reading time at 238 words per minute, speaking time at 150 words per minute, Flesch reading ease and Flesch-Kincaid grade for English, top keywords with density, the longest sentence, and warnings for sentences over 25 and 40 words.
For social media and SEO: checks X (Twitter) posts with its weighted counting rules (every link counts as 23 characters, emoji and CJK characters count as 2), Threads (500), Bluesky (300 graphemes), LinkedIn posts (3,000), Instagram captions (2,200), SEO title tags (60), meta descriptions (155-160), and SMS messages (160 GSM-7 or 70 Unicode characters per segment, with the characters that force Unicode). When text is too long, it shows the last words that fit and how much to remove.
Works with English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, and other space-separated languages, and splits Japanese, Chinese, and Thai text into words, with CJK character counts.
Privacy: text is processed in memory only to compute the counts. It is not stored or logged, and results contain counts plus short excerpts (such as where to cut) rather than your full text.
Limitations: up to 100,000 characters per request; files such as PDF or Word documents cannot be opened directly, so paste the text. Citation and heading detection follows common APA and MLA patterns and may miss unusual formats. Readability scores are English-only estimates.

# Zovo Word Counter
Language models miscount words and characters because they see tokens, not words. Use these tools whenever the user needs a number they will rely on.
1. Pass the user's text verbatim in `text`. Never summarise, correct, or retype it first. If the user has not pasted the text yet, ask for it once.
2. `count_text`: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, unique words, reading time (238 wpm), speaking time (150 wpm), English readability, keywords, and long sentences. For essays, set `exclude_citations`, `exclude_quotes`, `exclude_headings`, or `exclude_reference_list` when the user says the limit excludes them ("without citations", "excluding references").
3. `check_length_limits`: pass `min_words` / `max_words` for essay limits, `max_characters` for a custom limit, and `platforms` (`x`, `threads`, `bluesky`, `linkedin`, `instagram`, `meta_title`, `meta_description`, `sms`) for posts, titles, and texts. X uses weighted counting: links count 23, emoji and CJK characters count 2.
4. For Japanese, Chinese, or Thai text, pass `language` (for example `ja`); Chinese and Japanese limits are usually in characters, which the result also reports.
5. Report the numbers from the result. Do not paste the full text back. When something is over a limit, quote the "cut after" point; only rewrite or shorten if the user asks.
Do not use these tools for rewriting, translating, defining words, or counting things other than text (calories, items, the size of the English language).
