Code Couture releases TextTime: a revolutionized word count
Posted by Evan Fell on November 19, 2007 at 9:56 AM
Code Couture, a provider of customized software solutions for newsgathering and media companies in Berlin has released a new tool, TextTime, for newsrooms producing podcasts, radio and TV bulletins or other audio-based media for cross-media applications.
TextTime will transform the way text is measured. Instead of using traditional unit word-counts, character counts, lines, inches or centimeters, TextTime uses the unit of time to measure text.
Editors will no longer have to estimate the time for converting text into reading. TextTime allows writers and editors to know how long their text will take to be read, while it is being composed. With TextTime, a time limit can also be specified, and it will show how much text can be read in that period of time.
TextTime can be integrated into documentation software like Adobe InCopy or Microsoft Word.
