word cloud

Weighted term display

A word cloud is a visual representation of text data where words appear in varying sizes based on their frequency or importance—the more often a word occurs, the larger it displays.

Word clouds are used to quickly convey the themes or most prominent terms in a document, speech, or dataset: The word cloud showed "innovation" and "growth" as the company's most-used terms.
