List Words - HTML (TAPoRware)

This tool lists words in an HTML document, either uploaded by the user or from a web address. List Words works with relatively small texts of under a megabyte in size. It is part of the TAPoRware collection of tools; there are XML and plain text versions available as well.

This tool’s functionality has been incorporated into Voyant available online at www.voyant-tools.org.

Wordle

Wordle is an online toy for generating word clouds using the text you provide.  Text can be submitted by providing an URL or by pasting raw text into an input.  The most frequent words from the text are then used as the source for the resulting visualization, where frequency is used to determine the size of each word.

You may customize the output by choosing from a variety of display options (layout, font, colours) or use the randomize feature to get a random visualization.  Additionally, there is built-in stop word support for many common languages, and the option to change the word case.

OrlandoVision (OVis)

An application for visualizing a specific collection of authors, and the links or associations between them.  Links are determined by co-occurrence in the Orlando dataset.  The current dataset consists of authors, other people associated with them, and the text entries upon which these associations are based.  The application is designed in such a way that it could be extended to use other datasets as well.

The display can be customized in the several ways.  Node colours, shapes and sizes can be altered.  More significantly, the layout of the graph can be chosen from amongst several different algorithms.

As the collection is quite large, there are many filtering options available.  In terms of author, the following categories can be specified: gender, author/non-author, and author nationality.  The user can create complex search queries of the authors and the text, and specify a date restriction for the authors' life span.

Each association in the text has been tagged with one or more semantic attributes, i.e. the type or meaning of the relation between the people.  These tags have been organized into a tree, moving from general to more specific relations.  Each tag in the tree can be checked/unchecked, further filtering the results.

Finally, a data set and customizations can be saved as a session which can then be loaded at a later time.  In addition, screenshots of the current layout can be saved to an image file.

Voyant Cirrus

Cirrus is a visualization tool that displays a word cloud relating to the frequency of words appearing in one or more documents. One can click on any word appearing in the cloud to obtain detailed information about its relativity.

Voyant Links

Links finds collocates for words and displays links between them using a force directed graph. It shows term frequencies in proximity to keyword. It is a visualization and shows a web of terms.

Voyant Bubblelines

Bubblelines is a visualization tool that helps to understand patterns of word repetition in one or more documents. Each document is represented as a horizontal line and each seach term is represented as a bubble – the bubble represents the frequency of the term in the corresponding segment of text (the text is divided into segments of equal length).

Voyant Bubbles

Bubbles reads the words in a document (or corpus) and displays the highest frequency words within proportionately large bubbles. Once you arrive to Bubbles, insert / upload your content and let the tool perform its analysis.

Voyant Corpus Grid

Corpus Grid shows an overview of the corpus, including each document's title, number of word tokens (total words), number or word types (unique words), and lexical density (the ratio of tokens to types).

Voyant Corpus Summary

Corpus Summary is a tool that provides a simple, textual overview of the current corpus. Features of this tool include number of words, number of unique words, longest documents, highest vocabulary density, most frequent words, notable peaks in frequency, and distinctive words.

Voyant Corpus Term Frequencies

Corpus Term Frequencies shows overall word frequencies for the entire corpus as well as information about how word frequencies are spread out over documents within the corpus. Hover over column headers and buttons for more information.
