This website allows you to quickly and easily search talks from General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). This corpus (or collection of texts) contains 25 million words in 11,000+ talks from 1851 to April 2025.

The purpose of this site is not to browse through a list of talks and then read the whole talk (for example, talks from 1870 or 1925 or 1980). Rather, this site allows you to do powerful searches to look at changes over time -- the frequency of words and phrases, word meaning and usage, lists of all words used much more in one period than another, words and phrases used more frequently by one speaker than others, limiting the search to a particular speaker, and much more.

Click on any of the links in the search form on the search page for context-sensitive help. You might pay special attention to the comparisons between decades and virtual corpora, which allow you to create personalized collections of talks (e.g. by speaker)
