N-Gram Frequency Analyzer

Generate local unigram, bigram, trigram, 4-gram, or 5-gram frequency tables from segmented words.

Counts run locally in your browser. When available, word, sentence, and grapheme segmentation uses the browser’s Unicode-aware Intl.Segmenter; fallback rules are used on older browsers.

Core counting & writing metrics

Start with the broad counter that matches the question, then move to focused frequency, reading-time or syllable analysis. Specialist readability, repetition and writing-goal tools remain available from the full hub.

Sentence-aware n-grams instead of accidental cross-boundary pairs

By default n-grams are built inside detected sentences, so the last word of one sentence is not silently paired with the first word of the next. Case sensitivity and cross-sentence behavior are explicit controls.

Practical guide and verification

Use the tool first, then apply these checks to verify inputs, interpret the result, and hand it off without displacing the primary workflow.

Define tokenization before comparing frequencies

N-gram counts depend on how text is split and normalized. Case folding, punctuation removal, apostrophes, hyphens, Unicode normalization, and sentence boundaries can all change the resulting phrases. Keep the same settings when comparing two documents; otherwise a frequency change may reflect preprocessing rather than a real difference in language use.

Choose n for the question you are asking

Unigrams emphasize individual words, bigrams expose short associations, and larger n-grams capture more specific phrases but become sparse quickly. A high n can produce many one-off sequences, while n=1 loses phrase context. Run more than one n value when you need both broad vocabulary and repeated phrasing evidence.

Frequency is not the same as importance

A common phrase can dominate because of boilerplate, headings, navigation text, or a repeated template rather than because it is conceptually important. Inspect the source occurrences of high-frequency n-grams and consider stop words or section boundaries before using counts to make editorial, linguistic, or search conclusions.

Protect sensitive source text and export the recipe

Local analysis avoids intentionally uploading the pasted text, but you should still use appropriate handling rules for confidential material on the device. When exporting results, record n, case sensitivity, normalization choices, limit, and source version. That makes a later comparison reproducible instead of leaving only an unexplained frequency table.
