HumanTyped

Keystroke biometric verification for social media.
Free & open source.

GitHub  •  Website  •  Verified Posts

HumanTyped analyzes your typing patterns — not your content — to certify social media posts were genuinely typed by a human. Every certified post gets a verifiable token anyone can check.

AI-generated text is flooding social media. Copy-pasting from ChatGPT is trivially easy and completely undetectable. HumanTyped makes it detectable — by analyzing the one thing AI can't fake: the way your fingers move across the keyboard.

Three steps. Two minutes. Zero data collected.

1. Install the Extension — Add HumanTyped to Chrome in 2 minutes. It runs silently in the background on X/Twitter — no setup, no account.

2. Type Your Post — Write naturally. We monitor timing between keys — never the keys themselves. Pasted content is detected and excluded.

3. Anyone Can Verify — A unique token is appended to your post. Anyone can click it to see your typing analysis and human confidence score.

Anonymized metrics that prove human typing patterns:

The confidence score starts at 100 and gets penalized for suspicious patterns — robotic timing consistency, superhuman speed, zero corrections, and impossibly fast sessions. 70+ generally means a real human typed it.

Built with a simple rule: never collect what you don't need.

What we analyze:

• Timing between keystrokes — dwell and flight times only
• Typing speed variations — average WPM and variance
• Correction patterns — backspace rate and rhythm
• Session duration — how long you spent typing

What we never touch:

• The keys you press — we never know which keys
• Your post content — text never leaves your browser
• Your username or identity — no accounts, no tracking
• IP address or cookies — zero server-side tracking

This is not a keylogger. We never record which keys you press — only the timing between them.

No Chrome Web Store needed. No account required.

1. Download the extension

Clone the repo or download the ZIP:

git clone https://github.com/DaveDushi/humantyped.git

No Git? Download ZIP instead.

2. Open Chrome Extensions

Type this in your address bar:

chrome://extensions

Or go to Menu > Extensions > Manage Extensions.

3. Enable Developer Mode & Load

Toggle Developer Mode on (top right), then click Load Unpacked and select the extension/ folder.

4. Start Posting!

Go to x.com and compose a tweet. Look for the blue H badge. Type your post naturally — a verification link is appended automatically when you hit Post.

1. Fork and clone
2. Pick an issue or open one describing what you want to work on
3. Keep PRs small and focused
4. Test with the extension loaded against the live server or localhost:3000

After making changes to extension code, go to chrome://extensions and click the reload icon on the HumanTyped card to pick up your changes.

cd server
cargo run
# => http://localhost:3000
