About the Word Frequency Counter
A word frequency counter ranks everything in your text by how often it turns up. It is the fastest way to catch the word you have leaned on nine times in four paragraphs, to see what a transcript is really about, or to pull the working vocabulary out of a page you are trying to match.
Switch between single words, two-word phrases and three-word phrases, which is usually where the interesting patterns sit. A stop-word list keeps the, and and of out of the results by default, and you can set a minimum word length, a minimum number of occurrences, and how many rows to show. Every row carries its count and its share of the text, and the whole table can be copied or downloaded as a CSV for a spreadsheet.
Hyphenated terms and words with an apostrophe are kept whole, so state-of-the-art counts once rather than four times.

Frequently asked questions
Keyword density measures how often one target term appears as a percentage of the whole page, which is an SEO check. A frequency counter ranks every word and phrase in the text without you naming one first, which is an editing and research tool.
The small structural words that appear in every English text, such as the, of, and, is and to. They are always at the top of a raw frequency list and tell you nothing, so they are filtered out by default and can be switched back on.
Not by default, so The and the are counted together. Turn on case sensitivity when capitalisation matters, for example when you are counting brand names or code identifiers.
