Wordle is useful in helping you quickly find themes in any text that you need to read.  For example, you can use it to find themes in:

• reports,
• Web pages,
• books,
• dissertations,
• journal articles,
• database search results, etc.

You just copy your text and paste it in Wordle to generate a word cloud that shows you, by default, the 150 most frequently mentioned words in your text.  The bigger the word, the more often it has been mentioned.

You can also use Wordle to visually summarize anything that you have written.  Visit Wordle and give it a try!
