Questions
- What counts as a 'word' here?
- Any run of letters, numbers, apostrophes, or hyphens is treated as one word — punctuation like periods and commas is stripped, and words are split on whitespace and other punctuation.
- What are stopwords, and why filter them?
- Stopwords are extremely common words like "the", "and", "is", and "of" that carry little meaning on their own. Filtering them out surfaces the more meaningful, topic-specific words in your text — useful for spotting themes or checking keyword repetition.
- How is the percentage calculated?
- Each word's percentage is its count divided by the total number of words counted (after any filters are applied), so the percentages always add up to 100%.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
- No. The counting happens locally in your browser using JavaScript — nothing you paste is uploaded or stored.
