[ddj] WordCounter tool

Sun Mar 29 12:09:08 UTC 2015

Hi all -

My colleague Rahul Bhargava and I wrote a simple word counting tool where
you can paste or upload text and it will count word frequency, bigrams and
trigrams.

We have been using it in our data storytelling classes to educate students
about text mining. Here's a sample activity from Rahul's blog:
https://datatherapy.wordpress.com/activities/activity-analyzing-text/.

Would love any feedback.
Cheers,
Catherine
