 TYPO3 Extension “VG Wort Pro”
 Version 0.10.0 (2026-09-19)

  VG Wort pays authors for texts that are read online. What it pays for is measured by a counting pixel, and what it pays out is decided by a report that has to reach VG Wort before a deadline, describe the text that is actually online, and never be wrong—because a sent report cannot be corrected.

This extension does the part between those two facts: it keeps the pixels, extracts the text as the page delivers it, checks what would make a report fail, sends it, and reads back what VG Wort already knows.

   Compatibility
---------------

|  |  |
|---|---|
| TYPO3 | v14 LTS |
| PHP | 8.2 and above |
| Requires | [`b13/vgwort`](https://github.com/b13/vgwort)—the free extension that holds the pixel field and renders it |
| Optional | `typo3/cms-dashboard`—adds a status widget, nothing else changes without it |

   Where to Start
----------------

**You are setting this up for the first time.** Read [Installation](https://b13.com/products/vg-wort-pro-for-typo3/documentation/installation) end to end, then walk the production checklist before you report anything. The one step people skip is checking that a page actually delivers its pixel—see [How It Works](https://b13.com/products/vg-wort-pro-for-typo3/documentation/how-it-works#c12664).

**You already track with VG Wort and want to keep what you have.** Start at [Syncing Registrations](https://b13.com/products/vg-wort-pro-for-typo3/documentation/syncing-existing-registrations). Existing reports are read back, and pixels you entered by hand can be upgraded to full pool entries—see [Pixel Pool](https://b13.com/products/vg-wort-pro-for-typo3/documentation/pixel-pool#c12691).

**You have a manual or handbook across many pages.** Read [Bundled Texts](https://b13.com/products/vg-wort-pro-for-typo3/documentation/bundled-texts) first. Reporting those pages individually is the mistake that cannot be undone afterwards.
