Toolstia / character frequency counter

Character frequency counter

Paste your text and see how many letters, vowels, consonants, digits, spaces and punctuation marks it has, plus a table of how often each letter occurs, from most to least common.

How it works

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Read the counts for each type of character.
  3. Use the letter table to see the most common letters.

What is counted

Letters from any alphabet, digits, spaces and line breaks, punctuation and symbols. Uppercase and lowercase letters are counted separately in the summary and combined in the frequency table.

Vowels and consonants

Vowels are a, e, i, o, u and consonants are the other Latin letters. Letters from other alphabets are counted as letters only.

Letter frequency

The table helps with puzzles, cipher solving and checking how natural a text looks. In English, e, t and a are usually the most common letters.

Emoji

Each emoji counts as a single character.
