Overview

CaraCaraC is a characters counter. It displays the statistics about the characters of any text.
CaraCaraC displays the total number of characters used in the text (including or not including punctuation marks and unprintable characters), the list of the different characters with, for each of them, the ranking, the number of occurrences, the frequency and cumulative frequency in percent.
The results can be saved as file or printed.
This application works with any kind of writing but is chiefly designed for asian writings : in particular, CaraCaraC is a useful chinese characters counter.

What's new in CaraCaraC

Version 3.2 :

It is now possible edit the list of punctuation marks.
Unprintable characters and punctuation marks can be counted or not.
It is easy to know whether a particular character is an unprintable character. It is sometimes difficult to decide whether it is a punctuation mark. A list of punctuation marks is always questionable.
The new Punctuation window allows you to edit the list of characters that CaraCaraC considers as punctuation marks.
Some minor modifications.

I'm probably biased since I only write in Latin-script languages… But even if I never have to analyse Chinese texts, it's quite fun (is that the word??) to see how many e's, s's etc. a text contains. Gives you at least some orthographic perspective. If it were drop-and-drag, I'd give CaraCaraC one more star. Now it's open-file-mark-text-copy-to-clipboard-open-CaraCaraC-scan-clipboard, which isn't that elegant.
