What this tool does
Footnote Counter turns pasted academic text into practical diagnostics with counts, warnings, and a concise improvement signal.
The tool normalizes whitespace, applies tool-specific pattern detection, calculates metrics, and converts the result into a quality score from 0 to 100.
Use the output as a fast editorial check. Human review is still recommended for final academic submission.
Example
Example: paste a paragraph or reference section, run Footnote Counter, then use the generated report to revise length, formatting, flow, or consistency.
Use cases
- Academic essay review
- Thesis and dissertation cleanup
- Journal or conference submission preparation
- Classroom writing feedback
Tips for better output
- Paste the full section for more accurate percentages.
- Review highlighted or extracted items before deleting anything.
- Use export buttons to save a revision report.
- Run the tool again after editing to compare improvement.
Processing details
All processing runs locally in the browser with JavaScript. The page does not need a server-side text upload to calculate results.
Pattern-based academic tools can produce false positives, especially with citations, passive voice, and dialogue detection.
