Document Word Count
Counts words, characters and pages across .docx, .pptx, PDF and text files, for translation quotes.
A translation quote is per source word in Europe and per source character in Korea, Japan and China — so the number you need depends on who is quoting. This counts both, across .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, OpenDocument, EPUB, RTF and plain text, and adds 원고지 sheets for the Korean publishing convention.

How to use it
Drop the documents
Several at once. Each is counted separately and the totals are shown together, so a quote for a batch is one number.
Read the pair of figures that matters
Words for a European-language quote, characters for a CJK one. Both are on screen, so a quote can be checked either way.
Turn on the per-section breakdown for a deck
It counts each slide, sheet or chapter separately, which is how you find the one slide carrying half the text.
Common questions
Why does the word count differ from Word’s?
It should not, on Latin text — the rule here is Word’s. On CJK it counts one word per character, which is also what Word does, and is the figure a Korean or Japanese agency will not use anyway: they quote on characters.
How reliable is the page estimate?
It is an estimate and labelled as one: 250 words or 700 CJK characters per page. Real page count depends on font, margins and line spacing, none of which a word count can know.
Why not PDF?
A PDF stores glyph positions, not words — reconstructing text from it is a different job with different failure modes, including columns read across and ligatures split. The PDF tools handle that separately.
