I am constantly amazed at the abilities of Clipboard Help and Spell (Love Fest not intended, just my take).
There is one ability that should be "promoted" much more, and that is Character Count. At first there seems many utilities for this, however that's somewhat deceptive in that many are web page based methods (and others) require some scripting in the "not for novice" style.
Anyway; traffic in computer to mobile messaging is increasing (no citation); 160 characters is the usual max count; Ipod and some other '"smart" phones don't always have character counters: etc. Seems that some information targeted at these demographics would be in order. As an aside, "GrandMa, Mom and Dad" text-ing their family's phones may be a growing source of users.
There are other utilities, but to propel Clipboard Help and Spell faster, possibly a focused view of this aspect of CHS is worth a try.
Lastly: The window showing character count results. Can it be sized smaller? The reason I ask is that on this machine the "pop-in" that nearly fills the frame is unexpectedly large and to me distracting.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
