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".
Around 1.4 to 1.6 consonants per vowel for ordinary prose. Technical writing and text heavy with abbreviations runs higher; text with many loanwords from Italian or Japanese runs lower.
No. Only letters are classified as vowels or consonants. Digits, punctuation, spaces and symbols are reported separately as "other characters" so nothing is silently dropped.
No. B and b are the same consonant and count together, both in the total and in the per-letter table.
