Word Frequency Counter - Text Analyzer Tool

What is a word frequency counter?

A word frequency counter scans your text and tallies how often each word appears. It helps you spot repetition, find key themes, and balance keyword use without guesswork. Because it runs in your browser, results update quickly and your content stays private.

How to use the word frequency counter

  1. Paste your text: Drop in an article, transcript, or notes of any length.
  2. Analyze: The tool counts words case-insensitively and ranks the most frequent terms.
  3. Get results: View the ranked list and copy it for further analysis.

Why use this analyzer?

  • Cleaner writing: Catch overused words and replace them with clearer language.
  • SEO balance: Check keyword presence without stuffing and adjust headings or body copy.
  • Research clarity: Summarize themes in interviews, surveys, or meeting notes quickly.

Use case 1: Blog draft tuning

Check a draft for repeated phrases, swap in synonyms, and keep the tone varied.

Use case 2: Customer feedback themes

Paste survey responses to reveal the most mentioned products or pain points.

Use case 3: Academic notes

Analyze lecture notes to find recurring concepts before exams.

Examples

Basic example

Input: "Clear writing needs concise words. Concise writing helps readers."
Output: concise: 2, writing: 2, clear: 1, needs: 1, helps: 1, readers: 1

Advanced example

Input: 5,000-word user interviews
Output: Ranked list highlighting dominant themes such as "pricing", "support", "mobile".

Common errors

Hyphenated words split unexpectedly

Hyphens can split terms into two words. Replace hyphens with spaces or keep them consistent before counting.

Mixed casing skews counts

The tool lowercases everything before counting, so "API" and "api" are combined.
