TAPoR Text Analysis

List Words

Summary

Tool can be used to list all of the words found within a given text document. The query results can be displayed alphabetically, by frequency, by order of appearance, or in reversed alphabetical order.

Note: The input text format should be plain text. If you submit an XML or HTML text, the tool will strip all the tags, and then process it as plain text. For best results with XML or HTML text, it is suggested to use XML-specific or HTML-specific tools.
