Know your word count. Prove your authorship.
A word counter tells you how long your text is. It cannot tell you who wrote it. If you need to prove that your writing is human-authored, Humanums captures behavioral signals during writing and issues a signed certificate with a public verification page.
About this word counter.
How does this word counter work?
Paste or type text into the box. The tool instantly counts words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, reading time, speaking time, and vocabulary diversity. All analysis runs in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.
Is this word counter free?
Yes. Completely free with no sign-up, no limits, and no ads. Use it as much as you want.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses 238 words per minute (average adult reading speed for English). Speaking time uses 150 words per minute (average speaking pace for presentations).
Is my text stored or sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Can I use this for essays and academic papers?
Yes. Use it to check word count requirements for essays, dissertations, articles, or any writing with a length constraint. If you also need to prove the work is human-authored, try Humanums certification at humanums.com/register.
