This discussion and feature request are quite a bit older. Have you looked at using current features such as the Export for translation? That would allow you to pull all the text from Storyline and run a Word count on that?
Yup, that seems to be the idea here in the thread and it sounds like a reasonable idea. I know that Geert mentioned above, and I just want to reiterate, that it would be an estimate. There are some items in the columns, such as answer choices, that you may not want to be counted in the total.
This request has been going on for 6 years, SIX YEARS - wow. And people still have to fill in the form. It's not good enough given the expense of the licenses. My team found a workaround by exporting to MS Word. I think it's a real shame we are not seeing more basic features and functionality like this in the AR /AS upgrades. Disappointing.
Agreed, Sarah. We need to offer continuing education hours for our clinical staff, and a word count feature is as basic a feature as it gets. Articulate needs to step up on this one.

Hio Wolfhard,
have you tried exporting your project for translation to word ?
It will not give you an exact word count, yet it will give you an estimate....
Cheers
Geert
Hi Geert,
ofcourse i've done this, but I'm looking for the words count of my words in the articulate Project...
Thanks
Wolle
Hi Wolfhard,
There is not a word count feature within Storyline, but it does sound like a good feature request.
even I was looking for this feature
Hi Abanti!

Hi Stephanie,

If you'd like to share a bit more information on how having this feature in Storyline would help your course creation, would you send directly to our Product team right here?😁
Export for translation seems like it might be useful for a word count if we just cut out the middle column of the resulting table. ???

Would like to request this as a feature too!

Adding my name to the list, please implement a feature that we can count the amount of words in our projects.
