Word Frequency Counter

Frequently Asked Questions

What is word frequency analysis?

Word frequency analysis counts how often each word appears in your text. It helps you identify the most common words, understand word distribution, and gain insights into your writing patterns or content themes.

Should I enable case sensitivity?

It depends on your needs. Enable case sensitivity if you want "Word" and "word" counted separately. Disable it (default) to treat them as the same word, which is usually better for general text analysis.

What are stop words?

Stop words are common words like "the", "and", "is", "in" that appear frequently but carry less meaning. Enabling "Ignore stop words" filters these out to focus on content-bearing words that are more meaningful for analysis.

How does minimum frequency filtering work?

The minimum frequency setting filters out words that appear fewer times than your threshold. For example, setting it to 2 will only show words that appear twice or more, helping you focus on more significant recurring words.

What's the difference between list and table view?

List view displays words with visual frequency bars and percentages in a more casual, easy-to-scan format. Table view presents the data in a structured grid with columns, which can be better for detailed analysis or exporting.
