CharLength is used during word and sentence boundary events, and allows API consumers to create features that highlight words/sentences as they are spoken out loud. For those with dyslexia or problems concentrating, this is a powerful accessibility feature. In addition, most major computing platforms already support some form of charLength. Therefore, it would make some sense to add charLength to the web standards. An older request for the same thing
