Count Occurrences
Count how many times a word or phrase appears in your text, with optional case-insensitive and overlapping matching, free and private, right in your browser.
Paste in any block of text and see exactly how many times a specific word or phrase shows up, useful for checking keyword density in a draft, tallying mentions of a name across a transcript, or spotting overused words before you edit them out.
How to use it
- Paste or type your text into the box
- Enter the word or phrase you want to count
- Toggle case-sensitive or whole-word matching if needed, and read the count
Frequently asked questions
- Does this count whole words only, or any substring match?
- Both are supported. Turn on "whole word" matching to stop "cat" from counting inside "category," or leave it off if you want substring matches included.
- Can I count a phrase, not just a single word?
- Yes. Type or paste any phrase and the tool counts each full occurrence of that exact sequence, not the words separately.
- Is matching case-sensitive?
- You choose. Case-sensitive mode counts "Rose" and "rose" separately; case-insensitive mode (the default) counts them together.
- Do overlapping matches get double-counted?
- No, matches are counted left to right without overlap, for example searching "aa" in "aaa" returns 1 match, not 2.
