Raining Words - Other (TAPoR)

'Raining Words' is a tool designed to display word frequency information, minus the words in a chosen stop list, from a user-specified document in a Java applet. High frequency words appear larger and move more slowly than lower frequency words. This tool requires Java 1.4.2_08 or a more recent version for your browser. As the TAPoRware interface defaults to opening the applet in a new window, popups must also be enabled from the TAPoRware site in order to see the results. This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org.
