Visualize What Words Mean

Monday, January 17, 2011

An online graphical dictionary? I didn’t believe it myself when I heard about it. So I clicked the url and presto! There it is! The graphical representation of word associations from a single word you’ve typed in or tried to look up the meaning of.

Visuwords™ is a dictionary and thesaurus rolled into one. It lets you look up words to find their meanings and relationships to other words and concepts. The graphical representation reminds one of a synaptic or neural nerve. With this visual aid, you learn how words connect to one another.

Visuwords™ is very easy to use. Just type the words in the search box and press enter. A node will appear onscreen and “burst” into numerous nodes with words on them. You can double-click a node to expand it further, revealing more word associations. You can also click and drag the background to pan around or use the mouse wheel to zoom in our out. To see definitions of the words, hover over the nodes; click and drag the individual nodes to move them around to further clarify the word connections.

What makes Visuwords™ fresh is the twist the developers added to make words fun. Rather than the usual online dictionary/thesaurus that have limited word meanings, Visuwords™ bring words together creating a cohesive understanding. This online graphical dictionary is also great for writers, journalists, students, teachers, and artists. It stokes up the fire of creativity to use words in new and novel ways.
See how Visuwords™ works, and who knows? You may never find yourself at a loss for words!
