Many formulas exist to judge readability and caution must be exercised when applying a readability test to a document. Word Counter can provide various statistics to help judge the readability of text.Ī screen shot of the readability statistics window This can be useful if you want to know how many words longer than 10 characters you are using, or to see if your choice of words may be repetitive. Columns can be sorted by clicking on the column name/column header. Once the count is complete, Word Counter will display every word that appears in the document as well as how many times each word appears and how long each word is. Press the Count button to begin the analysis. The Word Frequency window can be accessed from the main menu. To use the frequency option, the document to be summarized must be open in either the main Word Counter window or in the TextEdit window (depending on the current data source for the counts). Word Counter also provides an interesting feature that summarizes the frequency of every word in a document.Ī screen shot of the word frequency window If a word is entered in the Instances Count window it will be counted even if it otherwise would be ignored based on the word length of minor word preferences. Therefore, the word 'count' would have two instances (case-insensitive) in the preceding sentence since it appears in both 'Counter' and 'counts'. Additionally, Word Counter will consider any subset of text when it counts instances. In a case-insensitive count it would be counted twice in the preceding sentence since the case would be ignored. With a case-sensitive count, the word 'with' would be counted only once in this sentence if the search was case-sensitive since the first instance has a capital 'W'. You can also choose whether Word Counter should consider the number of instances in a case-sensitive or case-insentive manner.

If the text area in the instances window is blank, Word Counter will return a count of 0. To perform an instances count, open the Instances Count window from the main menu and type in the desired word or phrase. This count will be displayed alongside the total count for words and characters. Word Counter can provide a total for the number of times a certain word or phrase appears. Thus, if you choose to ignore a word based on some of the preference settings available, the characters from those words will still be included in the overall count. Word and character counts are independent. Word Counter will provide the word and character count for the text, and it will also count the number of instances of a specific word or phrase if specified (see below). Simply type, paste, or drag text into the main word counter window, then press the 'Count Words' button. The ideal location for Word Counter is in your Applications folder.

Word Counter can also calculate estimates for readability statistics using the well known Flesch-Kincaid readability formula and many others.

It can even create a sortable summary table of all words in the document, with the number of times each word appears and the length of each word. Word Counter can count the number of times a particular word appears in a document. It also can perform bulk counts on multiple files and folders simply by dropping them onto the window. It can show the progress achieved towards a set goal for the total number of words and characters.

Word Counter can automatically update the count based on a user-defined time interval.

It can be used independently or in conjunction with other applications such as TextEdit, Microsoft Word, Pages, TextWrangler, and others. Word Counter is a Macintosh OS X application that performs a word count and a character count, but it can do much more.
