Word Count in a Rise Course

Please add me too to the list for a Word Count feature in Rise.

Add me to the list as well. Translation is quite common for us.

Any progress on this word count facility?

I am hoping it will be available soon as well. Also struggling to import
XLIFF files since my translator uses SDL Trados 2019. (Rowie is researching
solutions.)

Need to know word count specifically for translation services estimates

thank you

Has there been any update on this? We could really use this for our translation workflows. Thanks!

Hey All!

Thanks for letting us know that this would help for translation service estimation! No updates for this right now. We're tracking requests for this and we'll let you know if we make any changes that will help!

Would love for this to be a feature someday. It would really help with the translation process!

I'm shocked this isn't a feature yet. It would be extremely helpful for doing clock hour calculations which almost all institutions need. Please let me know if this becomes available. 

This seems like it should be a basic feature. I hope it comes us soon.

We need this as well! Quick access to word counts for translation. 

Yes, we need a word count feature as well please rather than the pdf workaround.

Us too! Word count for translations + word version of the translation document please (like Storyline).

HEROWORDCOUNT has been updated with improved word counting for Rise 360.

Here's what you do:

1. Export your XLIFF file.
2. Download and run the free app from the Microsoft Store:  
   https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9ND6JRMKF74Q
3. Select your file and then get the word count.

HEROWORDCOUNT works for both Rise 360 and Storyline.

Some notes:

• Storyline courses will vary on word count because slide names, scenes, etc. are included in the word count
• Storyline courses will *not* count closed caption files as they're not accessible in how they're stored
• For Rise 360, this method *should* be faster to get a count as you won't have to wait for the export to PDF. It also counts your answer-based feedback in quiz questions.

It’s ridiculous that there are so many disjointed workarounds to make Rise do the most basic things. Every answer In these forums is “thanks, we’ll add it to the list” and then silence. The public roadmap they’ve shared literally has like 3 things on it that are in development, and none of those mean anything to most teams I know. The market is ripe for disruption here!

Totally Agree Justin!

+1 for this common sense feature

Any new news on this functionality being added?

Hi Cathy,

The only way to get one is to export your course as a PDF and then convert that document into Word. I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi Cathy,

If you are still looking for a word count and can share the XLIFF file with me via email we can provide you with a super accurate word count.

Thanks

Hi Sarah/Nick,

Thank you. I did see these workarounds previously mentioned. I was asking if there was an update on native support in Rise for this so as to avoid exporting 100+ modules to get to this standard info every time it is needed.

Thanks, Cathy I didn't realise your volume, thank you for this context. I agree it must be a much-needed feature and frustrating at this level.
