What are your favorite artists really saying?
lyrical.cloud is a web-based application that can generate a colorful and fun word cloud of artists' most used lyrics.
The objective of this web service is to provide a fast, coherent, and visually appealing representation of a given artist’s/artists’ lyrics, formatted as a word cloud and based on frequency count. The main functionality of the application is centered around the generation of word clouds based on the lyrics of a single artist.
Additional functionality consists of:
- The ability to share a word cloud to Facebook in a graphical format
- Merge the lyrics of another artist into a currently-displaying word cloud
- Explore the frequency of a certain word within the total discography of a certain artist/artists
- Identify the usage of a certain word within a specific song
The web application will be freely available to any user with Internet access, a computer or mobile phone, and a browser that supports a JavaScript runtime engine.
