Is there any way to generate a word cloud within Cvent while a speaker is leading a session as part of an Event? We are intending to use the mobile Event App feature and I was hoping to leverage it to allow inputs. The goal here is to be able to generate word clouds either during or after the session after asking attendees questions. 

Eg. Speaker asks "What is your favorite fruit?" and everyone's submissions are populated into a word bank revealing the answer (see attached image). 

I understand there are external tools I can use to accomplish this but wanted to make sure there were no similar existing functions within Cvent. Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hi Vyshnav,

Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, our platform doesn't have that capability but it's a great idea! The closest thing we have would be our live polling feature but this would require you to input answers ahead of time instead of people being able to enter their own.

Hey Maggie! There is no word cloud available with Cvent polling. I wish there was too and a lot of speakers ask me about it. 

@Sydney Langer This would be a great addition to Cvent polling. I'll say that a lot of speakers turn down using Cvent polling, due to the lack of word cloud, open-ended answers, and the fact that the polling is in another window. Ultimately, they often choose to use something like Slido or Polleverywhere, since those have word cloud and open-ended options, as well as they integrate into their slide deck and doesn't require transition time to a new window to view the results.
