CarlosNZ Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 http://cl.ly/MHBA A fairly basic word count workflow for Alfred 2. Keyword "wc" shows clipboard word count in Alfred results box: And a hotkey shows the word count of either the selected text (Ctrl-W by default) or in the clipboard (Ctrl-Shift-W). It's currently set to show notifications using Large Type, but you can replug the config to go to "Post Notification" if you prefer. dfay, drking and jdkram 3 Link to comment
dfay Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Nice. I was just about to write a workflow to call wc but you've done it for me. Thanks! Link to comment
mescalito Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've made a small modification to the workflow in order to allow an optional argument so that you get the world count our of what you type in alfred: wc "HI" will count HI https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51604079/Word%20Count.alfredworkflow CarlosNZ 1 Link to comment
Master_Yogurt Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Awesome workflow, exactly what I needed for checking students' paper assignments. You've made my day. CarlosNZ 1 Link to comment
KennFred Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hey gang, how do I get this to work? The image ain't showing anymore. And the double click of the workflow doesn't really work. ... newer version of this? Thanks! Link to comment

BioArach Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi, I found something that is not working properly when using the word count of selected text (suggested as control + w), this method always gives me one extra word in the result. Curiously all other methods work fine, with keyword and by "ctrl + w". Does anyone know how to fix this? Greetings, Link to comment

I get the same consistent result with each method. Can you be more specific as to what you're doing to get this result? Link to comment
