You can also choose 'list' view, which will give you the vocab list in a table, with columns displaying each word's subject areas, relevance score, and number of occurrences in the text. The color of the words is based on whether they match one of our seven subject areas (Arts & Literature, Geography, Math, People, Science, Social Studies, Vocabulary). In the tag cloud, words that appear most frequently in the text are displayed in a larger font size.

In the default view, words in the vocab list are arranged by relevance (more on that below!). Want to try it out? Click on one of our sample texts to fill the box and start grabbing! How can I view my vocabulary list? After you grab the vocabulary from a text, you will see a list of words and phrases in 'tag cloud' view. Click on the word map or the highlighted word in the example to see the Visual Thesaurus in action. Select any word on the list and you'll see a snapshot of the Visual Thesaurus map and definitions for that word, along with examples of the word in your text. VocabGrabber will automatically create a list of vocabulary from your text, which you can then sort, filter, and save. Just copy text from a document and paste it into the box, and then click on the 'Grab Vocabulary!' button. How does Vocabgrabber work? VocabGrabber analyzes any text you're interested in, generating lists of the most useful vocabulary words and showing you how those words are used in context.
