Frequency Analysis
Top words and characters in your text
What does word frequency tell you?
Frequency analysis shows which words appear most often in a body of text. It's the simplest form of text mining — used for SEO keyword research (which terms dominate a competitor's page), for identifying filler words you overuse in writing, and for sanity-checking the topic of a long document before reading it.
Words are normalised to lowercase and stripped of surrounding punctuation, so 'Hello,' and 'hello' count as the same word. Stop words (the, a, of, and, etc.) are kept — pre-filter your input if you want them removed.
Examples
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The dog barks.the 3
dog 2
quick 1

...Frequently asked questions
Are words case-sensitive?
No. 'Hello' and 'hello' are counted as the same word. Capitalisation is normalised before counting.
Are stop words filtered?
No — common words like 'the', 'a', 'of' are included. If you want them excluded, remove them from your input first.
How are word boundaries detected?
Whitespace and punctuation. Hyphenated words like 'long-term' are kept as one token; contractions like 'don't' are also one token.
Is there a limit on input size?
Only your browser's memory. The counter handles tens of thousands of words comfortably; multi-megabyte texts may slow the UI briefly.
Does anything leave my browser?
No — the analysis runs entirely on your device. No upload, no server processing, no telemetry.
