Zovo Word Counter

Check length limits

check_length_limits

Read-onlyIdempotent

Use this when the user wants to know whether text fits a limit: an essay minimum or maximum word count, a custom character limit, or platform limits for X/Twitter (280 weighted), Threads, Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram captions, SEO title tags, meta descriptions, or SMS segments. Returns pass or fail, how far over or under, and where to cut. Pass the text exactly as written. Does not shorten or rewrite the text and does not post anything.
