Frequently asked questions
What are stop words?
Very common English words such as “the”, “is” and “and”. Hiding them makes the meaningful topic words stand out.
How is the percentage calculated?
Each word’s count is divided by the total number of counted words (after applying the minimum length and stop-word filter) and multiplied by 100.
How do I count how many times a word appears?
Paste your text and the table lists each word with its count, sorted from most to least frequent.
Can I export the word counts to Excel?
Yes. Download the table as a CSV file and open it in Excel or Google Sheets.
How do I check keyword density?
Look at the percentage column, which shows each word’s share of all words in the text.
