The English Counter is a specialized tool that provides comprehensive language statistics for English text. It counts vowels and consonants, tallies word frequency, and offers a detailed character breakdown to help writers, students, and researchers understand text composition.
Counting the distribution of vowels and consonants is useful for improving pronunciation teaching, poetry creation, and linguistic analysis.
Word frequency count helps identify key themes, improve vocabulary teaching, detect plagiarism, and optimize content readability.
The English Counter is optimized for English text. To count other languages, please use the General Counter.
We built and test every tool on this site ourselves. Below is exactly how we verified this tool, how the calculation works, which standards we follow, and where the numbers can differ from your word processor.
The text is split on Unicode whitespace, then leading and trailing punctuation is trimmed from each token. Every remaining character is classified as a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), a consonant (a–z excluding vowels) or "other" (digits, punctuation, symbols and non-Latin scripts). Word frequency is counted case-insensitively and sorted from most to least frequent.
Character classification follows the Unicode Standard, so accented letters and symbols behave consistently across browsers and operating systems.

Only the text you paste is counted — headers, footnotes, text boxes and comments are not included, and hyphenated words count as one word. For an official count on a formatted document, always confirm in the word processor you are submitting to.
