About

Text Pro

Read full description

Write, count, revise, and keep every draft in one focused workspace. Text Pro is a word and character counter with a focused writing editor. Use it for essays, captions, emails, reports, application forms, notes, and any text with a limit. Live statistics update as you type. Your texts and saved versions remain on your device. SEE THE DETAILS Live statistics include: Words, Characters with and without spaces, Paragraphs, Sentences, Reading, Average words per sentence, Readability, Unique words, and Average word length. SAVE EVERY DRAFT Create and rename separate texts. Search your history and restore a saved version. Text Pro saves a recoverable local version before you clear, import, paste, restore, or apply an AI edit. IMPORT, LISTEN, AND SHARE Import TXT, Markdown, DOCX, RTF, and PDF files that contain text. Imported files must be under 5 MB. Use Read aloud for selected text or the full draft. Share your work as a text file or PDF. FOCUSED EDITING Use undo, redo, copy, paste, and the standard iOS share menu. Ordinary writing, counting, statistics, history, drafts, and settings remain on your device. OPTIONAL AI, ALWAYS YOUR CHOICE Select an action: Polish, Proofread, Shorten, Summarize, Expand, Bullet points, Professional, Friendly, or Translate. Select a passage to use only that selection. If no text is selected, the action uses the full draft. AI suggestions appear separately and never replace your draft automatically. Compare the original and suggestion, show the changes, and decide whether to apply, copy, regenerate, export, or listen to the result. AI actions require an internet connection. Only the text submitted for the action is sent through Moruk's gateway. AI can make mistakes, omit details, or change nuance, so review every result carefully. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT Text Pro requires no account or sign in. There is no subscription, paywall, paid upgrade, or paid plan. An ad may appear when you open the app, and full screen ads may appear occasionally. Text Pro does not use banner ads.
