Other letters than A-Z in Word Counter?

Hello!

Regarding this article/app: https://css-tricks.com/build-word-counter-app/

Maybe I have missed something, but how would I go about including other, foreign letters? I am Swedish, so I would like the app to be able to hande these: ÅÄÖ/åäö.

Right now, writing one of these letters will split up the word and count it as two. For example, the Swedish word “bäbis” (baby) counts as two words, and the keyword just becomes “bis”.

Would be super thankful for any help here. ELI5 :)

What Are Sound Effects?

Learn the ins and outs of using a sound effect to polish your presentation or podcast.

What Is A Sound Effect?

A sound effect is a ready-made sound for podcasters or producers. Typically, podcasters need to only incorporate the sound into their production for instant success. This can be done with various editors running in a very short amount of time. Sound Effects make the creation of a podcast easier and professional. Sound effects are usually easy to edit and customize using any sound editor, occasionally more sophisticated sound require precise tuning.

Sound Effects: Power of Audio

Sound effects are often used to compliment and enhance artistic presentations, whether they be podcasts, videos, or other audio/visual productions. Royalty-free sound effects are typically non-exclusive and can be used by anyone who purchases them. Professional sound effects can give a podcast or production a more professional sound. However, many new producers may not realize that sound effects have copyrights, and in many cases it is illegal to use a sound effect that you happen to find on the web without properly licensing it.

Most podcasters and producers do not have the time or equipment to go out and record all the sound effects they may want to incorporate into their production. Podcasters are better off using royalty-free sound effects. Royalty-free sound effects are purchased, and there is no recurring fee for the use of the effect. The purchaser may use the sound effect(s) as often as required within the license terms and conditions, without paying for the use of the sound effect each time the effect is used.
