Word counter

In some cases it is necessary to determine the number of words within a document. For example, if you want to determine whether an excerpt falls within your buyout agreement, or to decide which page rate to apply. With our word counter we are happy to assist you to determine exactly how many words an excerpt or document has. This way, it's no longer necessary to count the words manually.

About the word counter

The word counter is a tool for higher vocational education institutions to determine the word limit of a document. The word limit varies depending on the buyout scheme.

Manual and conditions
