I was able to use a "Split Fields to Rows" transform in Pentaho to make a row for each word and generate the viz below. I excluded numbers, and some common words like 'Tableau'. I also used a Stop Word List to exclude common words.

Analyzing text with Tableau
This afternoon a colleague and I were discussing text analysis and how there isn't a good way to do it in Tableau.

The other is for occurrences of keywords.
