Shorts Captions Error Density
Use this shorts captions error density tool when you have measured values for errors, caption words. It applies a transparent mathematical relationship to those values to return an answer in errors/1000 words. Unlike a prediction or recommendation, this is a calculation from your inputs. Use the same proofreading standard for each sample. Enter a different scenario to see how this particular quantity changes; check the assumptions before using it in a project.
How to use this calculator
- Use exact measurements and consistent units for errors, caption words.
- Enter each quantity; blank, nonnumeric and out-of-range inputs are not accepted.
- Compare the reported errors/1000 words quantity against your own data and the limitations below.
Formula for Shorts Captions Error Density
errors/1000 words = 1000*errors/caption_words. Inputs are expressed in the units shown by the labels.
- This uses a direct creator relationship and does not retrieve remote data, forecasts or individual account information.
- Use the same proofreading standard for each sample.
Worked examples
Worked example — Shorts Captions Error Density
Enter Errors = 12, Caption words = 4800.
Apply 1000*errors/caption_words.
Calculated value: approximately 2.5 errors/1000 words.
Understanding the result
The example produces about 2.5 errors/1000 words; this is a mathematical output for the example inputs, not an observed result for your project.
Use the same proofreading standard for each sample.
Important notes
Use the same proofreading standard for each sample.
Use values from the same measurement period or physical system. The result is in errors/1000 words and is not a guarantee of capacity, safety, ranking or revenue.
