Getting Started
The Word Frequency tool (词频统计) allows you to count word and character occurrences in one click. Visit the HeronTool website and locate the "Word Frequency" tool. Paste your text into the input box, click "Count", and get a frequency-sorted list instantly.
Advanced Settings
Before counting, you can adjust parameters:
- Case sensitivity: By default, case is ignored; enable it for precise matching.
- Ignore stopwords: Filter out meaningless words like "the" or "of" to highlight keywords.
- Count character frequency: Switch to "Character Frequency" mode to see distribution of individual characters or symbols.
Interpreting and Exporting Results
The results display each word or character's frequency and percentage. Click table headers to re-sort (by frequency or alphabetically). HeronTool provides "Copy Results" and "Export CSV" buttons for saving data or importing into other tools.
FAQ
Q: What text formats are supported? Paste plain text only; PDF or Word files are not accepted, but you can convert them first.
Q: Are punctuation marks included? By default, punctuation is excluded; enable "Include Punctuation" in settings if needed.
Q: Can it handle large files? It processes up to ~100,000 characters; longer texts are truncated. We recommend splitting into segments.
Q: Why are word and character frequencies different? Word frequency counts space-separated words, while character frequency counts individual characters—different logic.
