TagCrowd is an online tool for creating tag clouds from any text to visualize word frequency. Tag clouds have become popular on Flickr and a number of other social web sites.
I really like the idea about tag clouds since they can quickly visualise the content of a text by summarise (and quantify relationships among) the most important words in a text.
Does anyone know about a standalone software that could create tag clouds of large texts? Otherwise I will have to implement it myself, but that shouldn’t be too hard.
If interested in word frequency analysis, take a look to Textanz http://www.cro-code.com/textanz.jsp . This tool calculates frequencies of individual words, phrases, wordforms, sorts and filters results in various ways, displays summary readability parameters , has export capabilities and many other useful functions.
