Many academic fields use content analysis. At the core of most common content analysis lies frequency distribution of individual words. Websites and documents are mined for usage and frequency of certain words. In this article, we introduce a community-contributed command, wordfreq, to process content (online and local) and to prepare a frequency distribution of individual words. Additionally, another community-contributed command, wordcloud, is introduced to draw a simple word cloud graph for visual analysis of the frequent usage of specific words.
