Word Count in a Rise Course

+1

another vote for this feature! 

This is an older thread, but adding some translation industry insight for future visitors. 

There is no shortcut - you have to break down the course by content buckets. 

• Editable Course Content = extract .xliff file (which is .xml based and designed for translation)
• Uneditable Course Content = If you have images you need translated, estimate the number of words per image or use average
• Audio/Video = If subtitles or closed captions are required, you can estimate 100-200 words per minute based on the speaking speed. Multiple speakers will trend higher. 
• Onscreen Text = If you have audio/video with additional text that requires translation, you'll need to manually count or estimate.  
• Labels/Screenreader - This can also be exported and counted from Articulate
• Assets/Embedded Files - Download and count

On the translation production side we create a Bill of Materials for every course which is essentially a sitemap that documents word counts, audio/video duration and complexity. We run this via excel template and have a handful of formulas to estimate total localization effort. 

Hope this helps!

and me this will help with translations unless you want to add AI translations to your features list!

Putting back on the list! desperately in need of a word count function

Another vote for word counting! 

Any update on this?

Still no word count feature?

Word count would be very helpful - also an auto calculated estimated duration would be handy!

I'd love a wordcount. I'm the editor and I have to request writers to extract and send the pdf.
