Common uses

  • Finding overused words in a draft before editing
  • Getting a quick sense of a document's recurring themes or keywords
  • Checking keyword frequency in content written for SEO

Supported formats and limitations

Accepts text, up to one file at a time.

  • Word detection is the same Unicode-aware logic as Word Counter — it recognizes Vietnamese and other non-English letters correctly, but doesn't do language-specific stemming ("run" and "running" are counted separately).
  • Only the top 50 words are shown in the table on the page — download the result for the complete list on a text with many unique words.
