You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
This is my new project : A New Type Board . I named this software "typedrawing".
I feel a great interest in application or software to communicate and represent one's mind and thougth through internet. Board(bbs) is very easy and useful thing
for communicating. and board is evolving day by day such as blog. but why we have to type words in the same way such as typing from left to right.
that is typical and easy to recognize but not interesting, sometimes boring.
This is one of the easy and exquisite way of showing one's word. You can say anything with your letters by drawing them.
Feel free to represent your types and words to say. It's just a easy and funny thing.
I'm looking for your beautiful typedrawing and take a look around other's work.
Got Brainy is a vocabulary building site with a twist. Students and teachers can create or view mock-motivational-posters for vocabulary words that often pair ironic or sarcastic images with a word and definition. This site might be best used with an upper-level High School English class studying for standardized tests. However, it can be used for ESL students as well to pair images with new vocabulary words and simple definitions.
There's no reason why spell-check dictionaries need to be so behind the times. All the technology to build a relevant, timely spelling database already exists in search engines like Google and Microsoft's own Live Search, which have a vast vocabulary of words and names and update their dictionaries in near real time. Microsoft Word may not have heard of Marky Mark, but a Live Search or a Google query for Mark Walberg includes results for the actor, who has an "h" in his last name.
one of the key features of this multifaceted tool is the "Word Combination"
tab which, more than simply providing concordanced examples, shows the most frequent strong collocations of a chosen word.

Very clever vocab builder that is flash based. I only wish that it would have a built-in audio file for each word (I don't think I saw one -- could have missed it).
I've tried this out several which ways and personally found it to be a weak product. It just doesn't even sound close to natural, but I think they'll eventually get there.
