Another vote for Word Count as a feature in Rise for pretty much the same reason as everyone else, translation costs estimates. It does feel like a thing that should have been done by now.
Cmon guys, this thread is 3+ years old and this is a very simple feature request that is extremely valuable. Language translation is a huge deal for companeis and in some cases they face legal consquences by not providing it. You guys were monitoring this thread to capture interest and theres pages of it. Not impressed.
When you are working with 50 modules, I don't want to export each one and load it into word and start checking word counts. Put a parameter somewhere that stores it.
If you pay for the Pro version of poedit.net you can export the xliff file from RISE and find the word count in the statistics dropdown from poedit along with a Microsoft translate AI option.
I don't think I want anymore tools though :) Either way its still an export, import/upload and then count. If you used poedit to complete your translations I could see how its beneficial to someone though for sure.
In my case, I don't do the translations, they are insourced or outsourced based on the project. A project I'm working on currently is massive (for many roles and micro-module based) and export each of the course is time consuming. Would be very nice for a little stat settings in rise that collected word counts (would be great if it counted media items too - images, embedded videos, etc) - but the last part is probably wishful thinking.
Chiming in to add my request to the pile. We always need to provide our content in multiple languages and in my opinion maintaining all of the content in a separate Word doc is a huge pain and major time suck.
I'd like to cast another vote for a built-in word counter; it is a much-needed feature. Articulate staff, do you have any timeline on when we should expect to see it? Thanks!

Plus one for the word count feature!
+ 1 on word count
We also would need a word count feature, as it helps a lot with estimating budget needed for translation of the course!

We need a word count as well! Has this feature been developed?
We do need word count too! Thanks
We also need it for translation!
Yes! Word count in Rise would be helpful
And another vote for word count for the same reasons outlined above.
Bumping again via my reply. This would still be very helpful for us - for localization as well as course time estimations.
+1 for word count. Our team would really be able to save time. Currently we have to export to another program to get the word count.
is there a word count translation for rise yet?? Thank you!
Kindly add myself and my 5 colleagues to the list! Thank you!
Please add this word count feature!!
this would be super helpful!
Another one to add to the list for a word count (translation costs)
Word count would be really appreciated.
Many thanks for your work!
