How to use Generate Text Unigrams
- 1. Paste the source text. Paste or type the passage you want tokenized into the input pane. Generate Text Unigrams reads it right away and lists every single token on its own line.
- 2. Choose Words or Characters. Pick Words to list every space-separated word as one unigram, or Characters to list every individual character, which suits letter-frequency analysis instead of word-frequency analysis.
- 3. Copy the unigram list. Click copy on the output pane and drop the one-token-per-line list into a spreadsheet, a script or a frequency-counting tool for whatever analysis comes next.
When to use Generate Text Unigrams
Generate Text Unigrams breaks a passage into its individual tokens, whether that's whole words or single characters, and lists each one on its own line. It's the simplest building block behind word-frequency counts and basic text statistics.
- Building a word frequency list. Before counting how often each word appears in a document, you need every word split onto its own line. Generating word unigrams here gives you that list ready to paste into a spreadsheet's count formula.
- Preparing character-level tokens for a toy model. A small experiment with a character-level language model needs individual letters as input tokens rather than whole words. Switching Tokens to Characters produces exactly that list from any pasted passage.
- Extracting a vocabulary list from a corpus. Building a vocabulary file for a text project starts with every distinct word listed separately. Generating word unigrams gives a raw list you can then deduplicate and sort.

About the Generate Text Unigrams tool
Generate Text Unigrams runs as plain JavaScript in your browser tab, with no server behind it. List all unigrams (single tokens) from the text. Whatever you put in stays on your device from start to finish.
The tool is part of EditSafely's Text Tools section, 211 single-purpose utilities built around the same idea: open the page, get the result, keep your data to yourself.
You can shape the output with the Tokens setting, and the result refreshes the moment you change it. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
That local-first design has practical benefits beyond privacy. The tool keeps working on a flaky connection once the page has loaded, results are instant because nothing round-trips to a server, and it is safe to use with confidential material.
Frequently asked questions
Is Generate Text Unigrams free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Is it safe to paste sensitive or confidential data?
Everything happens locally. Your browser downloads the tool's code once, then does all the processing itself; nothing you enter is transmitted, stored or logged. You can even go offline after the page loads and it will still work.
How much text can I process at once?
There is no fixed limit. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a shared server, the practical ceiling is your machine's memory, which comfortably handles inputs far larger than typical online tools allow.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
How do I use the result?
The output panel has a one-click copy button, and you can keep refining the input while you work; the result updates in place as you type.
