New ParaMind Brainstorming Software for Mac OSX -- Creative Writing
Software for Mac OSX

Brainstorming Software for Mac OSX!

ParaMind Brainstorming Software for Mac OSX is the first creativity
package for Mac OSX that works with words. ParaMind Brainstorming
Software for Mac OSX offers you an instant way to generate new ideas
for great brainstorming and problem-solving sessions.

Other types of creative thinking or brainstorming software often
require a steep learning curve, ask the user endless questions, or are
merely sophisticated flow charts, ParaMind for Mac OSX gives the user
back brainstorms after typing in any sentence and making a few key
clicks.

The ParaMind brainstorming program for Mac OSX was built on the new
idea of brainstorming by getting every idea that can be expressed in
language by "meaningfully exhausting the interactions of words" in any
given subject area.

ParaMind Brainstorming Software for Mac OSX is the result of long
investigation into how to create ideas by computer-human interaction,
and ideas in its theory can be shown going back hundreds of years in
philosophy. The largest problem encountered and overcome in the
ParaMind program is how to get the computer to understand the
complexity of word relationships. ParaMind copies the user's sentence
hundreds or thousands of times and replaces selected words with
related "Word Categories." The results can be humorous or even
breathtaking.

ParaMind for Mac OSX Version 1.0 comes with 650 general Word
categories. There are over 1100 Word Categories that the user can buy,
and they can add in as many as they want. The new ParaMind for Mac OSX
has automated features previously only found in the ParaMind
Professional version. These features make ParaMind a more automatic
brainstorming program, like the old proverbial computers from old
science fiction magazines. When you select "Automatic," ParaMind will
automatically find Word Categories that contain your selected word and
will then give you the option of brainstorming on them.

ParaMind Brainstorming Software, a seventeen-year-old company, is
recognized as one of the premier
brainstorming software products.

The software covers an area that troubles people the most: what do you
do when you cannot come up with a solution for a problem? Most
problems
can be expressed in words. Therefore, the software multiplies the
words
of the problem and each time it creates hundreds or even thousands of
possible solutions. The user enters in their sentence, clicks the
mouse
a few times, and the computer sends back hundreds of pages of ideas
related to their sentence.

The program is like Microsoft Word, in that it lets the users write
out
a sentence or two of their idea, but it then expands that idea in any
direction by the choice of word categories. The word categories are
the
usual groups of nouns, verbs, adjectives and other words that are
related to each other. The software provides hundreds of word
categories
that users can merge into their sentences. The user can add his or her
own word categories to the program to make it completely customized.

With ParaMind, you will be able to take a problem that was once barely
a
sentence before and in five minutes come up with hundreds of pages of
possible solutions. To solve problems the best, the user can put in a
form of what they think the answer may look like. For example, “We
need
to find out how to have free concerts in the park” can be entered into
the software as, “We can have free concerts in the park by doing
this.”
The person using the software will then merge on the word “this” and
have thousands or new sentences with the word “this” replaced with
other
nouns.

Here is another example of how a person could use ParaMind. Since any
character
can be added into the ParaMind screen and database, symbols or
chemistry
shorthand
can be used.

This is the sentence we typed in:

These are the sentences ParaMind easily created:

Home appliances that help with cleaning make life a lot easier

Sometimes the results can be fun and even hilarious.


Since ParaMind started in 1992, we have received much positive user
feedback.

Paramind was noted in the book "Creative Problem Solving for Managers:
Developing Skills for Decision
Making And Innovation," by Tony Proctor, and in the book, "Ideate with
June A Valladares" by June A Valladares

It was also mentioned in "Root Cause Analysis: Simplified Tools and
Techniques," Second Edition by
Bjorn Andersen, Tom Fagerhaug

ParaMind is also mentioned in "Guide to Writing Empirical Papers,
Theses, and Dissertations" by G. David Garson. This book states:
"/ParaMind/ is another type of brainstorming software. It works by
generating new text from your writing, thereby expanding on any
idea based on one of hundreds of built-in related word chains, to
which
the writer can add. As such, it goes beyond common
"writer's helper" software that may ask the writer questions related
to
his or her subject, flow charting that writer's concepts or
generating random word combinations that provide idea variations typed
in by the author. In /ParaMind/, a single sentence or
paragraph can be expanded and permuted into up to 100 pages of related
statements. In simple "merge" mode, /ParaMind/
operates as a sort of thesaurus, suggesting substitutes for words the
writer highlights in text. However, in "large merge" mode,
many pages of new, reworded relationships are generated, providing
feedback on hundreds of new relationships and
associations relevant to the concepts contained in the author's
original
text."

ParaMind was mentioned in the book, "The Age of Spiritual Machines:
When
Computers Exceed Human Intelligence," by Ray Kurzweil.

"This is a MAJOR piece of software!"
Mick D'Aquin-Burglass

"All word merchants need this useful tool."
Charles L. Guatney, Professor Emeritus

“ParaMind lets you take an idea and expand it into multiple related
new
ideas. You give it a single input and suddenly
you’re given responses that trigger your creativity. It’s a powerful
and
elegant way to brainstorm concepts and solutions.”
Dr. Evan Stark, Ph.D., President. Message Science, Inc.

"Paramind is a trusted workhorse, friendly sidekick and a powerful
verbal tool. I've used it to "unpack" ideas into their
comprising components by, for example, using a keyword and follow
certain "threads", as it were. Example -- "relationship
is based on mutual trust" turned - after some *massive* selection -
five
or six stunners!"

"I have also used Paramind to form "neural threads" - a line, or
stream,
of ideas that are seemingly unconnected, yet prove
to be able to open some mental block. Example -- I've done some work
on
the use of DNA testing - and using PM I
came up with a whole range of ideas related to DNA - such as
hereditary
problems, historical "urban legends" and much more!"

"I'm a content editor and 'creative contentsmith' on Africa's largest
Content Hub (come see us - http://iafrica.com). We have over
10 million access per month. We serve content in units of information
(for example - a news item) and these units form a
single content thread within "neural" contextual networks. PM is great
for this purpose because it unpacks sentences so
that each word can be replaces with another word that's semantically
equal to it on a vertical level. It helps with the process
of brainstorming all creative / lateral choices involved in the kind
of
work I do."

ParaMind Software provides a great assistance for writers by creating
functional and original uses of language in a faster time augmented by
computer speed. By exhausting the combination of words through
replacing nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs, ParaMind can turn a
single statement into thousands of different possibilities. This
software can also combine prefixes and suffixes to create new words
that
are great for brand naming or creating buzzwords.
