Hello Community!
I need to gather the word count for a Storyline course I'm creating. When I publish as a Word file, I'm able to get a total word count. Yet, is the count of my words in Notes, wo...
Hello Miriam!
The app doesn't store the file or do any submittal as it's all local.
Once you install it from the MS Windows store, you'll need to
1. Export your XLIFF file from either Rise or Storyline.
2. Tell HEROWORDCOUNT where to find it.
3. Identify the file as Rise 360 or Storyline and then
4. Click Get Word Count.
That's it - and the latest version improves on the accuracy of the word count, too.
Hi Thor,
We need the exact word count for the Onscreen Text, Transcript, and Note Sections for translation. The storyline is great but, unfortunately, there is no provision to get an exact word count.
Have you tried the latest version of HEROWORDCOUNT?

It's free and gets almost everything you listed and you don't have to use a XLIFF file, either.
The one item I'm not sure what you mean by is 'transcript' - if you're meaning captions for audio/video, that is not available directly to retrieve as Storyline files (.story or XLIFF) do not supply this information readily. If you're interested in a method on how to get word count for captions, feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn or privately here if the forums provide that option.
