Consonant Count Share

Quick Tool Overview

The Consonant Counter counts consonants in any text, reports the vowel total for comparison, and shows the ratio between them. English averages around 1.5 consonants per vowel, so the ratio is a quick read on whether a text is unusually dense or unusually open.

About the Consonant Counter

The consonant count is the other half of a letter analysis, and the ratio between consonants and vowels says something real about how a text sounds. English averages roughly 1.5 consonants for every vowel; a text that drifts far from that is either unusually dense or unusually open, and either can be deliberate.

This counter reports the consonant total, the vowel total for comparison, the ratio between them, and a per-letter breakdown showing which consonants you use most. Whether y counts as a consonant is a switch, since it is genuinely both depending on the word, and accented letters can be folded onto their plain forms.

Key features of the Consonant Counter

Per-consonant table

Every consonant is listed with its count and share, so the letters a text leans on are obvious.

Three ways to handle y

Count it as a consonant, as a vowel, or exclude it — because "yes" and "myth" genuinely disagree.

Ratio against English norms

The consonant-to-vowel ratio is compared with the typical English range, so an unusual figure stands out.

Non-letters kept separate

Digits, punctuation and spaces are reported as their own category rather than silently dropped from the analysis.

Accents handled

Accented letters are folded onto their plain forms, so ç counts with c rather than as an unknown character.

Frequently asked questions

Every letter of the alphabet except a, e, i, o and u. The letter y is handled by the switch, because it functions as a consonant in "yes" and as a vowel in "myth".
