Apart from counting words and characters, our online editor can help you to improve word choice and writing style, and, optionally, help you to detect grammar mistakes and plagiarism. To check word count, simply place your cursor into the text box above and start typing. You'll see the number of characters and words increase or decrease as you type, delete, and edit them. You can also copy and paste text from another program over into the online editor above. The Auto-Save feature will make sure you won't lose any changes while editing, even if you leave the site and come back later. Tip: Bookmark this page now.
Knowing the word count of a text can be important. For example, if an author has to write a minimum or maximum amount of words for an article, essay, report, story, book, paper, you name it. WordCounter will help to make sure its word count reaches a specific requirement or stays within a certain limit.
In addition, WordCounter shows you the top 10 keywords and keyword density of the article you're writing. This allows you to know which keywords you use how often and at what percentages. This can prevent you from over-using certain words or word combinations and check for best distribution of keywords in your writing.
What's the most current way to find the word count of a note? I tried searching for the answer and the most current topics I can find are from 2018 or older and the menu options they say to use no longer seem to be there. For example:
I don't see any "word and resource counts" in the menu when I right-click in the text. I don't see a "word and resource counts" under any menu I can find on the screen, and I don't see "view" or "show status bar" anywhere either. Have things changed and this is no longer relevant, or am I just like the Technologically Impaired Duck and missing an obvious button somewhere?
I'm using the Windows version and both the "Status bar" option and the "Word and resource counts" are missing. Finally I found the word count in the "Show note information" (not sure about the English translation) menu option, but I hardly noticed it there.
I'm getting pissed with these "improvements". First remove the sync button and now remove the word count. Maybe Evernote should ask users which features they like, before removing them.
Try using online services for word and character counts. I work as a journalist and editor. Most of my work consists of writing articles and editing other people's. One of the main conditions and rules of working as an editor is to keep track of the article's volume and adjust (increase or decrease) the volume of the written text. I used to use automatic word count in Word. The information provided by this service is relatively narrow. I need to know the number of words and characters and the number of sentences, paragraphs, and pages. I use for these purposes. Sometimes I need to check the number of words in a particular line. This service copes with any task.
ChatGPT cannot accurately count words and is not suitable for producing word-counted material. This is due to the fact that ChatGPT is based on language prediction and not a calculator. The best way to get ChatGPT to generate code is to prompt it to write short, small methods in a module fashion. Furthermore, ChatGPT can count space characters rather than words when asked to calculate a word count, but the results are often inaccurate.
ChatGPT is not suitable for producing word-counted material due to the fact that it is based on language prediction and not a calculator. Word counting can often be inaccurate, which makes it difficult to use ChatGPT for this purpose. However, it is possible to get ChatGPT to count space characters instead of words when asked to calculate a word count, although the results are often inaccurate.
To get the best results from ChatGPT when generating code, it is recommended to prompt it to write short, small methods in a module fashion. This is because ChatGPT performs best when generating short sequences of words.
But in one of my projects, for some reason hovering over that top word count bar only gives me the words for that document, and if I go into a non-counted document (ie, my notes), it shows words as 'zero.'
I am sure others have figured this out way before I did, but I just figured out how to get a target word count for all the documents in a folder. This is on the Mac version, so I don't know how to do it on other versions.
Select your folder and convert it to a document. It doesn't matter if it already has documents in it. Go to the editor and set your target word count just like any other document. Then convert it back to a folder.
I like the idea of being able to see the word cunt of documents that are not open. like showing them when hovering on links beside its content. I think if such a think added to folder/ file manager can do the function you are looking for. One can get the word count of every folder including the whole vault.
+1! Some of my essays for school require a min/max word count. As someone that writes these essays in daily notes, of which likely have other text written in them, being able to see word count for selected text would be much helpful.
Hi, I recently got an important school assignment in which the teacher requires us to include a word count that adds up on the bottom of every page (the footer). Is it possible to automate this task in LibreOffice Writer?
I think the question is asking whether a running, cumulative word count field or facility is available. For example, given three pages of text with 400 words per page (in the main body area), the word count field in the footer of each page should read: 400, 800, 1200. Furthermore, the ability to exclude certain content types (e.g., paragraph styles: heading N, header, and footer) from this count is desired. I would imagine that is a fairly complex operation requiring extensive style checking (assuming styles are even used).
This would appear to relate (at least partly) to FDO#59255, for which there is no current solution. The ODF v1.2 specification does not appear to support this type of facility and/or field. Relevant word count definitions include:
19.339 meta:word-count The meta:word-count attribute specifies
the number of words that an
OpenDocument producer has counted for
a document. The value of the
meta:word-count attribute is
implementation-dependent.
Another simple macro. This one is for anyone who needs to count characters (e.g. for a tweet or headline) and/or words (e.g. for writers and copywriters). It displays an alert showing the character and word count in the highlighted text when you press Control+C.
With that macro you don't copy to the clipboard -- the macro does a Copy action and puts whatever is selected onto a named clipboard, the contents of which are then put into a variable, which is then word-counted.
@Nige_S I want to be able to select some text and get the word count. I was trying to see where this might be failing so I created a Macro with just one action, Display Text. I cannot get it to display anything.
Also, when you're talking about macros, programming, or software in general, please be very specific about what you're doing and the actual result of your actions. "It does not work" is not very helpful and doesn't tell us what you did. We also still have no idea in what application or context you're trying to count words. Is it Microsoft Word? Gmail? BBEdit? Star Wars the Old Republic?
Also, if a page consists of few words, Google is more likely to think of it as thin content. All search engines want to provide the best answers to the queries people have. Thin content is less likely to offer a complete answer and satisfy the needs of the public. Consequently, it will probably not rank very high.
Every page on your site needs to contain a certain number of words to be able to rank. How long your text should minimally be, depends on the type of page. Taxonomy pages require (slightly) less content than blog posts, whereas cornerstone content should be exhaustive and therefore needs to contain a significant number of words.
You can also find the exact word count of your content in the Yoast SEO Insights tab in the sidebar. The Insights also contain other useful features, like the Flesch reading ease, estimated reading time, and prominent words (in Yoast SEO Premium).
This is the hardest one. It is not easy being original with so much content out there. But, it might help if you reflect on what makes you unique. Think about how what you offer is different and better than the offers of your competitors. Then do some keyword research to see what your audience searches for and what competitors are up to. Preparing with research can give you plenty of ideas on what to write about and how to make yourself stand out from the crowd. In case you get stuck, we have a whole blog post on how to find inspiration.
