Since ParaMind started in 1992, we have received much positive user feedback. ParaMind is exactly the program many people have been looking for. We haven't saved that much old feedback, but we have included some below, including some books that have mentioned it.

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

Paramind was also 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."

"A truly GREAT program!" -- Don Davis

“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 is an extremely unique program. I write as a hobby, and when I get writer's block or can't think of a topic, I just fire up ParaMind, type whatever I'm thinking, and expand it. A great creativity booster with a neat interface. It was definitely worth my registration."

"As a graduate student of the Department of Educational Technology and Research at Florida Atlantic University, I am interested in your brainstorming product for a project I am working on. ParaMind has an interesting/powerful philosophy for creative solutions. I look forward to learning more about the possibilities behind the software."

I am a researcher/artist from Brazil. My work is strictly academic. I am very interested in ParaMind, as a process, as a linguistic theory.

I have long admired your software. It is ingenious! Jan Justesen

"Now ParaMind is appearing. It's a new type of genetic engineering but of sentences. The Charm of "ParaMind" appears because it gives soul to the computer. We get a strong feeling that the computer is no longer a machine because the written screens are never the same. By choosing words which describe feelings or beauties of nature, the sensations I've been speaking about increase."
"The exhaustion of contexts producing the reciprocal influences between meanings of words which is discovered by the exhaustion of the interaction of words. To give ideas by increasing the level of intelligence with conscience."
"ParaMind and its techniques are against the decrease of the level of intelligence."
Tonio Ferener, Physics Instructor, Romania

"I think this is a really good product."
