myWriterTools Writing Software

myWordCount Program
Eliminate repetitive words and phrases, and find those long
and difficult sentences that make your writing hard to read
I am a full-time author, instructor, editor, and publisher, and I would not think of going to press without running any manuscript through myWordCount. The program helps uncover those unconscious habits such as overusing certain words, relying on adverbs rather than strong verbs, and so much more. It is a product I recommend to all my students and clients and one I feature in my editing workshops.
- Patricia Charpentier, award-winning author
Wow this tool is fantastic. I have a 550 page book that I'm analyzing for word counts, but more importantly for phrase counts. myWordCount eats this book in seconds and gives me the results. Fantastic!!
- D Galloway, Vancouver, BC
The program itself i'd recommend to any writer or editor, and i'm amazed you can keep the price so low. It pays for itself in time and proofreading costs with one publication.
- P Hulm
myWordCount is indispensable to me. It has all sorts of tools I feel Microsoft Word should come with. It is priced better than any competitors, and its value far exceeds that cost. Its functionality is better executed than any of the competitors I tried.

- A Gerber

myWordCount...is very user-friendly...you will be up and running in minutes. myWordCount can be used to collect and compare readability and other statistics, but can also be used to drill deeply within a document and compare phrases, word counts, occurrences, and several other measurements.

- D. Dorrell, in Financial Forensics Body of Knowledge

New Version 3 runs on Windows and Mac

We have just improved our versatile word and phrase counting tool with lots of new features. This writing tool is a standalone program that analyzes your Word document, text file, or Scrivener project for character, word, phrase, and sentence usage. It produces sortable tables of counts for all words and phrases, and graphs sentence length. It can analyze each sentence and assign a grade level difficulty, or help you find your long and hard-to-read sentences. Fine tune your writing and find overused words and phrases. myWordCount now runs on your Mac as well as Windows!

New features include:

  • Flesch-Kincaid grade level analysis: myWordCount analyzes every sentence and assigns a Flesch-Kincaid grade level to each sentence to make it easy to spot your difficult sentences.
  • Character counting: Count the number of occurrences of every character in your document. Use this character frequency table to find special characters or analyze character usage.
  • Group words by their stem or root: The Count Words function now gives you the option to group similar words together based on their root or 'stem' using stemming and lemmatization algorithms.
  • Find adverbs ending in ly: Writers often overuse words made into adverbs by adding 'ly' at the end. myWordCount finds these ly adverbs for you. Don't let too many ly adverbs spoil your novel.
  • Scrivener file support: The program can read Scrivener project files and analyze their content. It supports both Windows Scrivener and Mac Scrivener files.
  • Mac support!: Our new version now supports the Macintosh computer and all OS versions from 10.5 Leopard and later. Now you can make your character frequency, word frequency, and phrase frequency charts from your Mac documents.
  • FAST!!! We sped up most of the program functions by a significant amount. We compared our previous version (2.03) to this new version by opening a 430-page novel and running some of our count routines on the text. The results were eye-opening (I know...why didn't we do this before?) You can see these times by click on the More Info link below. You won't find a faster word and phrase counting software package on the market.

myWriterTools

Software for writers, editors and proofreaders
"I wish I'd owned MyWriter Tools before I sent off the 3rd edition of Common Errors in Statistics to Wiley.  They have their own copyeditors of course, but this program would have cut their work in half. I plan to use DocScrubber on all new submissions from now on."
- P. Good (author of 17 text and trade books and 21 novels)
"I think myWriterTools is a well-rounded and powerful set of tools that can help you polish your work. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars..."
"myWriterTools promises a lot and, for the most part, it delivers. myWriterTools is fundamentally a very helpful tool for writers, editors, and proofreaders. Much cheaper than its main competitors, the software is also excellent value."
-Write Better English website
"A Brilliant Tool...For the modest price, it’s one of the most valuable tools I have ever come across. Take a look - I fully recommend it."
-Justin Arnold's The Mightier Pen's Blog
"I've spent quite some time using this piece of software and I have to say that this has to be one of the best pieces of software for writers I have ever reviewed. "
-Dawn Copeman, www.newbiewriters.com

  • Editing/Proofreading. Our Editor's Edition is perfect for authors, copy-editors, and proofreaders. No more manually keeping track of the important plot elements and queries to the author. You can easily add words and phrases to the computerized stylesheet, and then print a copy to accompany the edited document.

Our goal is to make your document easy-to-read and grammatically correct. Plain language is a goal of many government and industry groups. See more information on writing in plain language on our Plain Language page.
