A method and system for automating the analysis of word frequencies includes a frequency system automatically analyzing a plurality of statements, a count engine, and a cluster engine. The count engine allows for the counting of unique words in the statements and the determination of a frequency of occurrence for each unique word. The frequency system further includes a phrase file allowing for the count engine to specify groups of words as single unique words and a synonym file allowing for the count engine to group one or more words together in synonym groups to be specified as single unique words. The cluster engine locates a plurality of clusters in the statements and determines a cluster frequency of occurrence for each of the clusters. The automated analysis of the statements allows for cost savings, more efficient use of time, and more reliable and consistent word frequency results.
