    Hi there,

    It seems like this plugin does not support the word counter for Thai language.

    Microsoft Word counts 500 but the plugin only sees 160. Could you help?

    Thanks

    Hi Beam,
    can you post a link to a (public) article of your site so I can test its text out on my server? Thanks 🙂

    Have a nice day,
    Stefano

    Hi Stefano,

    Thanks for the reply. Please see one of the articles here: https://siamblockchain.com/2018/01/02/delegated-proof-stake/

    Use Microsoft Word to count, this program supports Thai language. The total words I got is at 1,273 words, while the plugin can only count 204 words.

    Thanks for the link. The problem with Thai word counting is that Thai does not have a clear separator for words, like latin-like languages do have, and it becomes a non-trivial problem. I see WordPress itself is not counting words appropriately for that text.

    Several customers whose website are in Cyrillic-like languages use the Pay Per Character addon, to pay per single symbol rather than per word. Could this be of help? 🙂

    Have a nice day,
    Stefano

    Hi Stefano, how does the extension work exactly?

    Pay Per Character is a (paid) addon for Post Pay Counter that allows you to pay your writers depending on how many characters their posts are made of.

    For example, you could set it up to pay each character $0.01, and in that case the word “payment” would be worth $0.07. This would address the issue of not being able to distinguish words correctly. Does this help? 🙂

    Have a nice day,

    So I paid for the pro version, but can’t use it properly and now I have to spend more money and have my fingers crossed if it will work or not?

    Actually, the word counting feature is not a PRO one, so you don’t actually need the PRO version to test it out and see how/whether it works 🙂 The PRO provides several others features among which Analytics/PayPal integration, payment managing and others.

    Anyway, we have a 30-day full refund policy on all purchases, so in case the Pay Per Symbol addon did not work for you, I would be glad to issue a full refund at any time 🙂

    Have a nice day,
    Stefano
