Can TEAM report character count?

When I go to Report section, I can only find WORD count.

The reason I am asking for Character count is that Microsoft AI will charge per characters, and I wanted to estimate the cost for our projects.

    In the meantime, based on the information you have provided, here is a suggested answer to your question:  

    Hello!  

    To address your query about character count in Trados Team, it is important to note that while Trados Studio primarily provides word count reports, you can indeed obtain character counts as well. Here’s how you can do it:

    **Step 1:** Open your project in Trados Studio.  

    **Step 2:** Navigate to the **Editor pane** at the bottom right corner, where you can see the Status Bar.  

    **Step 3:** Double-click on the measurement displayed (which defaults to words) to open the **Display Settings dialog box**.  

    **Step 4:** In the dialog box, change the **Display Units** to **Characters**. You can also choose to display the count, percentage, or both.  

    **Step 5:** Once you have set it to characters, the character count will be displayed in the Status Bar, which includes recognized tokens but excludes tags and spaces.  

    Additionally, if you are looking for a more detailed report, you might consider using the **Target Word Count** plugin available in the RWS AppStore. This plugin can generate reports that include character counts and can be customized to fit your needs.  

    This way, you can estimate the costs for your projects based on character counts, especially if you are working with Microsoft AI, which charges per character.
