What word generators do you use?

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

I use my own.

Sometimes Awkwords and sometimes gen.
Awkwords is good for generating natlang-like things, while gen is better for conlangs.
Here is an example of a random Chin language generated by Awkwords:
Phen raisu pawmawm khae tawsaw. Khawte thu, rekhawn maw nipha khi zuri raen. Kin zu khen naimae zi nen, chekhan tuphaw shae.
And the same by gen:
Tu ka pu tanungphazang tawn saphawn su? Khingsenti panpan teshe.
Well, when we compare it to Siyin Chin:
Amate khat le khat, “Hong pai tavun! uksuang beangin hal tawng” kici uh hi. Amate innsak natu in uksuang le a kimat natu in thingnaai zangh uh hi.
All of these are good, but: which one is better?
Well, the decision is on you. (I personally think that Awkwords is better.)
