I use bollinger bands on a chart to gauge volatility.
I like it because the visual representation of the band width is quick and easy to evaluate. This approach requires you to look at each chart individually, not a screening technique of the whole market.
For more information on bollinger bands, and for free charts with bollinger bands, try http://stockcharts.com/
Another way to gauge volatility is to look at the beta. The higher the number the more volatile the stock price as compared to the S&P500 for the previous twelve months. Beta can be used in many on line stock screeners to scan the entire market.
Yahoo has a free screener that has beta as one of the criteria.
