Writing is an art that comes with practice. Most writers have an identifiable style of writing as in that they have a habit to use certain words and phrases more frequently in their text. The writer who manages to avoid repetitions of words and idioms and thus create a write-up which does not sound pre-heard but unique can be considered a good writer. Earlier it was left to the writer, editor and the proof reader to scan the article or book for vocabulary or word frequency but it is sometimes impossible to do a text analysis for mistakes and repetitions.

Another problem that most writers face is use of the correct language. English may not be everybody’s comfort language but most of the content that is being written today, either as an article or a blog or a book, is in English. So these contents also need to be analyzed for mistakes in grammar and sentence structuring.

Technology as usual has a solution for every problem that we encounter. Microsoft Word helped us with almost all our grammar and sentence formation mistakes. It also helped us in avoiding spelling mistakes. But it did not correct our mistake if what we intended to write was ‘rose’ but instead what we wrote was ‘rope’. Both the words are correct but only the first word would be correct in the given context. It also did not point out if we had used a word many times in the content and thus had made it sound monotonous and boring.

To help us avoid repetitions and to make the article more professional and unique, a word counter or word list creator was needed. Before we thought of it, our wish has been answered. Word list expert is a software that has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of other word softwares.

The word list expert basically produces a list of all the words that you have used in an article. It also counts the same word frequency in the given text. These words are then ranked as per their usage. The word which features the maximum number of times in your article will be given the first rank and so on.

How does it help us? First, since it tells us word frequency, it helps us to know if we have abused certain words by repeating them time and again. So if we have used a word many times, what we can do is use the synonyms of the word instead of the same word. This way our article reads good and our vocabulary also increases.

It also counts the total number space separated words in the text. If we find a word which does not fit into the text, we can delete it and reword the sentence. Also, Search Engine Optimization is made easy since we come to know if we have used certain keywords more or less times than what is advised. With the word counter, we can thus write text which will rank high in the search engines.

Thus, word list expert is an ideal tool suitable for all, SEO writers, students, editors, authors, teachers etc.
