V_Words v2.0

1: V_Words produces a basic analysis of the vocabulary of short texts.

2: Load the text that you want to work with into the V_Words workspace. You can do this by typing your text directly, or by copying a pre-prepared text into the workspace.

3: Edit your text as necessary.

4: Add any extra punctuation marks into the punctuation list underneath the workspace.

5: Click the SUBMIT button.

6: V_Words generates a report that looks like this:

Column 1 on the left is a simple list of all the words in the text.
Column 2 is an alphabetically organised type count for the text.
Column 3 is a frequency ordered type count for your text.

7: You can save the reports by copying the relevant columns to a new document.

8: Use your browser's back arrows to return to the data input page.
