Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between counting item lines and tokenizing words?
Count item lines treats each non-empty line as one item and counts repeated lines. Tokenize words extracts word-like tokens from text and counts how often each token appears.
How does the calculator tokenize words from text?
In Tokenize words mode, it extracts word-like tokens made of letters, numbers, and apostrophes. Each token is then counted as a separate word entry in the frequency table.
Why do my counts change when case-insensitive is enabled?
Case-insensitive merges values that differ only by capitalization, such as Orange and orange. This combines their occurrences into a single count.
What does Show top N do in the frequency counter?
Show top N limits how many rows are displayed in the on-screen results table. It is used to keep large outputs readable while still basing the view on the computed frequencies.
What is included in the downloaded CSV output?
Download CSV exports the computed counts as a CSV file so the frequency table can be saved and reused in spreadsheets or other tools. Copy CSV provides the same data in a copy-ready format.
