A short YouTube tutorial (by Kazuhiro Goya) showing how to view word counts in a Descript project: select text to see a small on-screen count (example: selecting a paragraph shows “63W”), or press Command‑A on Mac to select the whole composition (example: shows 158 words). The video ends with a prompt to view a playlist of short Descript tips.
63 words (displayed as "63W").
158 words.
Command A (⌘A).
To view the word count of your Descript project. It's really simple. You can select a portion like for example, this paragraph right here, and when I have selected when I have it selected. If you see up here in the top right, there's this 63W. So I have 63 words selected right now is what that's telling me. If I want to see for this entire composition, I can do a select all. So I'll do Command A on a Mac keyboard. I now have the entire project selected, and once again, in the top left, I can see that this is 158 words. If you found this video useful, check out this playlist Next, for very short, quick Descript tips like this.
