How to use this text tool

  1. Paste text, type directly, or upload a TXT/CSV file.
  2. Choose the report or extraction mode that matches your task.
  3. Review the main count, secondary metrics, quality score, and automatic interpretation.
  4. Copy the report or export TXT, CSV, or JSON for later use.

What this tool does

Symbol Counter converts raw pasted text into a clear analytics report. It shows the main count, supporting metrics, density, and an interpretation that helps you decide whether the text needs cleanup or review.

The tool scans Unicode text in the browser, applies the symbol counter rules, calculates frequency and density metrics, then generates a readable report plus CSV and JSON exports.

All processing happens locally in the browser. No server upload is required for pasted text.

Example

Example input: Email dev@example.com about #Launch. Budget is $500 + 20% buffer. Use path /api/v1/users?id=10.

Use cases

  • Cleaning copied documents before publishing.
  • Checking OCR, CSV, logs, or multilingual content.
  • Finding formatting, Unicode, punctuation, or symbol issues.
  • Creating a reusable text analysis report for QA.

Tips for better output

  • Use raw copied text when you need to detect hidden formatting.
  • Run the full report before using extract or cleanup mode.
  • Compare density metrics when analyzing multilingual or structured content.
  • Export CSV when you need frequency tables for QA or documentation.

Processing details

Symbol Counter uses deterministic character matching and script-aware checks where applicable. It also calculates total characters, lines, density, frequency, and category-specific quality signals.

Language detection is heuristic, not a full linguistic classifier. For legal, academic, or production validation, review the exported report manually.

FAQ

How do I count symbols like @, #, and $ in text?

Paste the text and run the tool. It counts symbols by category and frequency.

Can this detect programming symbols in code?

Yes. Programming symbols such as braces, brackets, operators, pipes, slashes, and angle brackets are grouped separately.

How do I extract currency symbols from text?

Use Extract Symbols mode and review the currency symbol category in the report.

Can I remove hashtags and social symbols?

The tool can remove symbol characters or show only symbol-heavy sections for cleanup.

How do I tell if text looks like code or social media content?

The automatic classification uses symbol density and symbol categories to estimate the content type.
