A passage hides its emphasis in plain sight, and it is hard to tell which words truly dominate without counting them all.
Word Frequency Counter turns the text into a ranked list of its words and lets you exclude stop words, so the terms that carry the meaning rise to the top and you can copy the table out.
How to use Word Frequency Counter

- Turn off stop words to reveal the meaningful terms.
- Read the ranked list and copy the table when you need it elsewhere.
Use cases
- Pulling the top terms from an article for tagging.

Good to know
Frequency counts how many times each word appears, ranked high to low, with ties broken alphabetically. The most frequent words are usually small function words, so the stop-word filter reveals the meaningful terms, and the ranked list can be copied as tab-separated text.
