The tool was created primarily for teachers so that they can visualize text vocabulary structure and share it with their students.

Here’s how it works:

    1. You enter a word or text in the big box on the Wordsift homepage and press ‘ Sift ‘.
    2. On the next page you get a tag cloud which has important words in the text.
    3. You can click on any of the words and it displays Google image search result and visual thesaurus results below it.
    4. It also displays more sentences created from that word on the same page.
