The base annual price for the Cloud SCAYT service is $250 per service, which covers the service usage up to 50 million words per year.
Let us explain how the Cloud usage is calculated:
The way how the requests are sent directly depends on the way the users enter their texts. There are several possible scenarios:
a. A user inserts some portion of text with 100 words, the whole text will be divided into small portions up to 10 words and sent to the server for spell checking. Thus, as a result, you will have about 10 requests in this case.
b. A user starts typing in the textarea, typed several words and stopped for a few seconds. These two words will be sent to the server to check. So, in this case, you will have a request with only two words.
However, there is one thing that you should keep in mind. There is a mechanism of “caching/remembering” previously checked words during this active session (until the page reload). Thus, SCAYT remembers already checked words and won't send them again for spell checking.
For example, if you have text something like “Hello, how are you ” and the user adds at the end of the sentence a word “today”, so a new sentence is “Hello, how are you today”, then the only one word “today” will be sent to the server for checking.
After that, the user adds “. Hello” and pauses for a few seconds, so a new sentence is “Hello, how are you today. Hello”. In this case, SCAYT doesn't send any requests as all these words have been already checked, and we know that “Hello” is a correct word.
