Word frequency counter
Find the words a text uses most — the fastest way to pre-learn vocabulary before reading a chapter, article or subtitle file.
Why count words before you read?
A handful of words make up most of any text. Learning the ten or twenty most frequent unknown words in a chapter before you read it can turn a frustrating page into a readable one.
Questions
Which languages does it support?

How do I make Anki flashcards from the list?
Download the CSV and import it into Anki (File → Import), mapping the word column to the front of the card. Add meanings as you study.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Counting happens in your browser.
