Visualization

Word Cloud - Beta (TAPoRware)

This tool generates a word cloud of the top frequency words from a text document, with word size determined by its frequency. The user can specify how many words are to be included from the document, whether to apply a modified Glasgow Stop Words list, and the order in which the words are displayed. Clicking on a word in the resultant word cloud will generate a concordance for that word. This tool is currently only available for plain text documents. Should the user provide an HTML or XML text, all tags will be stripped and it will be processed as plain text. This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org.
