This software provides word, character, and line counting with internal repetition calculations and project time estimation for translators, language professionals, and writers. It also includes a budgeting and exchange rate calculator with optional compatibility to MSWord criteria.
If you're a professional translator, writer, transcriptionist, or other language professional who needs to estimate your work against the word/lines/character counting of the documents you handle, you might want to check out freebudget.
One of the best things about freebudget is its convenience. You can select multiple individual files or all files within a folder (including any subfolders), and specify individual pricing for words, lines, characters, pages, or time. This makes it easy to directly compare the results. The program is also easy to install, use, and distribute.
Recently, freebudget added a multilingual interface, which makes it easy to localize/adapt the program.
Another great thing about freebudget is its authoritative results. It's the leading free word count tool in the language industry and is currently being used by thousands of professional and non-professional users. It has become a 'de facto' standard, so you and your customers can always share a reliable analysis platform in case of dispute.
Accuracy is also a key feature of freebudget. It uses the exclusive WebBudget's SmartCount™ algorithm and industry-leading proprietary extraction technology to handle word delimiters and other special text strings. You can refer to the SmartCount section to learn more about how this feature works for you.
freebudget also offers a lot of flexibility. You can include (or exclude) text body, footnotes, annotations, headers, footers, annotations, and text embedded in MSWord shapes in your statistics. You can enable/disable SmartCount for word delimiters according to your project needs and enable/disable full compatibility with MSWord counting criteria. You can print or export results to tab-delimited text files, Excel, or HTML reports.
Finally, freebudget offers some unique features, such as correct analysis of documents in any language (including Asian languages), built-in Unicode support, calculation of internal repetitions (percentage of words in repeated segments) both per project and per individual file, and automatic estimate of the time needed to complete a project according to your personal productivity parameters.
Overall, if you need a flexible, accurate, and reliable word count tool, freebudget is definitely worth checking out.
