Analysis Options Explained

Case Sensitivity

When case sensitivity is enabled, the tool treats "The" and "the" as different words. This is useful when you want to analyze capitalization patterns or when working with proper nouns. When disabled, all variations are counted together.

Common Word Filtering

This option filters out common words like "the", "a", "an", "and", "or", "but", etc. This helps focus the analysis on more meaningful content words rather than grammatical filler words.

Number Inclusion

When enabled, this option treats numbers as words and includes them in the frequency analysis. This is useful for analyzing technical documents, financial reports, or any content where numbers are significant.

Sorting Options

You can sort the results by frequency (most common words first) or alphabetically. Frequency sorting is useful for identifying the most important words, while alphabetical sorting helps locate specific terms.
