About Word Frequency
Discover which words and phrases appear most often in a text — an essay, an article, a transcript, survey answers or a whole book. Every word is counted and ranked with its share of the text.
Leave out common filler words, numbers or your own list, match case if you need to, switch to 2- or 3-word phrases, search the table, and see the result as a word cloud. Export to CSV, TXT or JSON, or save the cloud as an image. Everything runs in your browser.
Good for

Tip: Add words like “said” or names to “Also leave out” to focus on the topic words.
