WordGen - a tool for generating character names, fictive language words etc.

Are you a novel author? Computer game designer? A film script writer?

Does your story contain strange foreign names? Or sentences or words of fictive language? Do you need words of some style, and find it difficult to invent them on your own? Do you think your fictive words always seem very improbable?

WordGen is here for you!

WordGen is a great tool for generating your own words according to chosen word style, with properties tweakable by parameters. Everything is free and very easy to use. Just choose you word style in the header bar and go for it.


WordGen was designed to by extendable by custom word styles. Word style is created in a very declarative way, and while some programming knowledge will be useful, it is not utterly necessary. You will mostly need just to declare javascript array [], object {} and string ''.

WordGen is written in javascript and (thus) totally opensource. Anybody is welcome to download a source, extend it, or develop styles on his own. However if your style is working and usefull, please send it to me so I can offer it to everyone by this page. My e-mail is kavan.petr@seznam.cz.

There is currently no documentation for style making and for WordGen source. I will write it as soon as someone e-mails me that he would like to try it. Currently, you can only look for source in wordgen.js (WordGen itself) and wg_styles/wgs_ossein.js (example style script).
