Stats Windows
iA Writer for Windows provides comprehensive statistics of your document, including character, word or sentence counts, estimated reading time, and a writing goal.
These stats help you monitor your writing progress, which is particularly valuable for writers paid per word, or those eager to take part in writing challenges like the ones from NYC Midnight.
How To Display The Stats
You can quickly display your document’s stats bubble by hovering your cursor near the bottom right corner of the Editor.
From here you can:
- see the share of the document, or of the selected text, attributed to AI, in documents with AI authors (see Authorship)
- click to see the full list of statistics
- choose which statistic the bubble shows: Chars, Words, Sentences, or Reading Time
- set a Goal
- choose Always Show to keep the bubble visible (also View → Always Show Stats)
Text Selection
The statistics are dynamic and adapt to the selected text range.
When no text is selected, the stats for the entire document are displayed. When some text is selected, the bubble updates to show stats for the selected range.
