A private desk tool for novelists
How often did you really need that word?
Open a Word document, or the text of a novel, chapter, or short story. Word Census is a free word frequency checker: it counts every word on this device, then flags the distinctive long words you have used more than once — with synonyms to consider, and character names set aside.
I
Open a Word file
Or a .txt. Nothing is sent to a server.
II
Read the census
Every word, counted. Names excluded.
III
Widen the vocabulary
Repeats of long words come with alternatives.
No account. No upload. The file is read locally, then forgotten when you leave.
