Frequently Asked Questions
What are stop words and why filter them?
Stop words are very common words like 'the', 'and', and 'is' that carry little meaning. Filtering them helps you focus on the words that actually describe your content, which is useful for keyword analysis.
How is frequency percentage calculated?
Each word's percentage is its count divided by the total number of counted words, times 100. It shows how large a share of the text that single word makes up.
How many words does the table show?
It displays the top fifty most frequent words. The summary above the table still reports the total and unique word counts for the whole text.
Does capitalization affect the counts?
No. Words are compared in lowercase, so 'Apple' and 'apple' are counted as the same word. All analysis happens locally in your browser.
