  • Copy to clipboard for quick paste
  • Download as .txt, .md, or .html file

Key Features

Multi-Language Support

Generate text in English, Japanese, or mixed languages for internationalization testing.

Flexible Length Control

Specify exact character count, word count, or paragraph count for precise testing.

Multiple Formats

Export as plain text, Markdown with automatic headers, or HTML with semantic structure.

Real-Time Statistics

View character count, word count, paragraph count, and estimated reading time instantly.

Common Use Cases

UI/UX Testing

Test how layouts handle different text lengths. Use short and long texts to verify responsive design, text truncation, and overflow handling.

Text Summarization Testing

Generate long texts to test AI summarization tools. Use different complexity levels to verify summarizer performance across various content types.

Database Population

Create realistic dummy content for database seeding. Test pagination, search functionality, and content rendering with varied text lengths.

Character Limit Validation

Generate text at exact character counts to test form validation, API limits, and storage constraints. Verify edge cases like maximum lengths.

Complexity Levels Explained

SimpleShort, Clear Sentences

Average 5-8 words per sentence. Easy to read, suitable for UI mockups and basic content testing.

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Consectetur adipiscing elit."

ComplexLong, Detailed Sentences

Average 15-25 words per sentence. More realistic for articles, blog posts, and documentation testing.

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor..."

TechnicalJargon and Terminology

Includes technical terms, acronyms, and industry-specific language. Perfect for testing professional content.

"The implementation utilizes a polymorphic architecture with dependency injection..."

Troubleshooting

Text not generating

Solution: Wait 1-2 seconds, especially for large texts (50,000+ characters). The tool auto-generates with a short delay.

Copy button not working

Solution: Check browser clipboard permissions. Alternatively, use the Download button to save as a file. On mobile, long-press the text to copy manually.

Text looks cluttered

Solution: Disable emoji, numbers, and special characters options. These are optional enhancements - turn them off for cleaner output.
