How to use the Parts of Speech Tagger
Tag words by part of speech
- Paste text into the text area, or select Upload and choose a
.txtfile. - Read the colored tokens in Tagged Text, then use the legend to match a color with its category.
- Check Category Breakdown for the Category, Count, and Percentage columns.
- Select Copy for tab-separated rows, or select CSV to prepare
parts-of-speech-report.csv.
Each token containing a letter or digit receives one category: Noun, Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Pronoun, Determiner, Preposition, Conjunction, Interjection, Number, or Other. The preview rebuilds the input, so spaces, line breaks, punctuation, and symbols stay visible around the colored tokens.
Input: Birds are happy in 2026.
Tagged: Birds [Noun] are [Verb] happy [Adjective] in [Preposition] 2026 [Number].How the Parts of Speech Tagger counts tokens
The tokenizer recognizes A-Z and a-z letters, digits, decimal numbers, and words with an internal apostrophe. Punctuation and symbols remain visible, but they do not enter the word total, category counts, or percentages. Percentages use one decimal place, and the stats line reports the number of counted tokens.
Classification checks dictionary entries before suffix patterns. A word ending in ly becomes an Adverb when no earlier match applies. Endings such as tion, ness, and ity point to Noun. An alphabetic token with no matching rule falls back to Noun, so a label can differ from the word's role in its sentence.
Copy or download the category breakdown
Copy produces rows headed Category, Count, and Percentage, with tabs between the values. CSV prepares the same breakdown as parts-of-speech-report.csv. Both controls stay inactive when the input contains zero counted tokens.
Use the tags beside the original text
Paste a paragraph to see which tokens the Parts of Speech Tagger marks as verbs, adjectives, or conjunctions. The line breaks and punctuation remain in place, so you can compare a category with its surrounding sentence.
Upload a plain-text extract when the source is already in a .txt file. A value such as 12.5 stays visible in Tagged Text and is counted as Number.
Choose the right text analysis tool
Use Text Analysis Tools when you are choosing a text-analysis page. Choose Text Analyzer for word, character, sentence, readability, lexical-diversity, or reading-time analysis. Choose Keyword Density Analyzer for one-word to three-word phrase counts and density highlighting. Choose Language Detector for ranked language candidates.
