How the word cloud generator works
The letRetro word cloud generator transforms your retrospective feedback into a visual map of team sentiment. Upload a CSV file exported from any retro tool — EasyRetro, Parabol, ScatterSpoke, Retrium, or a simple spreadsheet — and the tool instantly identifies the most talked-about topics across your team.
Under the hood, the generator parses your CSV, auto-detects which columns contain actual feedback (filtering out names, emails, and vote counts), and normalizes the text by removing common stop words and reducing words to their root forms. It then counts term frequency and identifies multi-word phrases — so “missed release” appears as a single unit rather than two separate words.
Words and phrases that appear more often are displayed larger and bolder in the cloud, while less frequent terms appear smaller and lighter. The result is an instant visual hierarchy: your team's biggest themes jump out immediately, while nuanced feedback sits quietly at the edges.
You can filter by category if your retro has columns like Mad, Sad, and Glad. Exclude noise words with the text input. Adjust the slider to control how many terms appear — from a tight 10-word summary to a detailed 80-word breakdown. Download the cloud as PNG or SVG, or share it directly with your team.
