System for compiling word usage frequencies
First Claim
1. A method for compiling word usage frequencies comprising the steps of:
- (a) obtaining a list of locations having words to be counted;
(b) counting a number of times each of said words is present at each of said locations in said list;
(c) calculating a total number of words present at each of said locations in said list; and
(d) displaying a total number of times a word is present at each of said locations in said list and a total number of words present at each of said locations in said list.

Abstract
A system for assisting a user who is learning a language to prioritize words to be learned in order of usage frequency is disclosed. A frequency determination program running on a computer determines the frequency of usage of each word at a list of locations provided by the user. Different algorithms to identify what constitutes a word are employed depending upon the language of the source data. The total number of words at each location and their usage frequency found during the user session, along with a total number of words and their usage frequency for all user sessions performed regardless of location, are calculated and made available to the user. The user can view usage frequencies for words from a single location, a group of locations, or all user sessions performed.
