Visuwords slows down the browser. Another fast and lightweight service is available at lexipedia.
Try looking up “Computer”.
Thanks for the information,Amit!!.
The design that appears when we search for a word is really cool!!.
this is a perfect anatomy of english word.This Will help GMAT and GRE guys in preparng their exams..
This is nice tool, however tends to make your browser slow.
This is developed using spring graph component using flex…
its a wonderful visualization…in flash…
Its taking a lot of time to load. I have bookmarked it, it might come handy..
For my mind lexipedia more handy.
It doesn’t look that great. Try searching for ‘develop’ and it shows up many words showing ‘develop’. Surely what you not expected.
I prefer the software - Visual Thesaurus. It’s a Java based implementation and is quite exhaustive.
@#6: The source code is available on the internet and its not flex. Its flash AS2 and its pretty lightweight for what it does.
I’ve seen Visual Thesaurus too. They use the EXACT same dictionary as these guys. The funny thing is that these guys announce loudly that the lexical database is the work of Princeton University and is free and opensource. The Visual Thesaurus guys though are completely mum about that and rake you for your cash!! Plus, I’ve seen a lot more connection types in Visuwords that don’t even show up in Visual Thesaurus. This for free? Bygum! Yes! VisualThesaurus won’t get my money.
Visuwords slower? Well, I think there’s a lot more info in here. Maybe that’s why.
