The iconic "I Write Like" style analyzer uses a custom English linguistic fingerprinting model to compare your writing with that of famous authors. It provides a lens into your style, tone, and rhythm. Perfect for learning and sharpening your voice.

## Track Your Writing Goals

Set targets and watch your progress.
Stay motivated by setting custom word or character goals for your project. IWL tracks your progress in real-time and celebrates with you when you hit your target. Whether you're aiming for a 500-word blog post or a 50,000-word novel, you'll always know exactly how close you are to completion.

## NLP-based Word Count
