Is it possible to report on the character count of user utterances using TQL?

We’re doing research on the length of user utterances but it doesn’t look like the character count is recorded anywhere against a user input? If it is held somewhere, is it extractable using TQL? I’ve checked through all the message properties and in annotation data etc, but cannot see a way to obtain the utterance length directly within Inquire - has anyone else achieved this?

Well i don’t think there is a command to do it directly, but you can create a global variable to save the character count of each user input in Pre-processing script, for example inputCharacterCount = _.userInputText.size(), then query this variable in TQL by t.e.sv:n:inputCharacterCount

Thanks for your reply - yes that’s a good idea for future reporting.
