Mumbley - A gibberish generator
Copyright Brandon Lucia 2011
OVERVIEW:
---------
Mumbley is a gibberish generator based on a first-order markov model of phoenetics.
THe model is derived from a text-only version of 1M sentences from the release version of wikipedia.
I used the phoeneticization tool at http://www.foreignword.com/dictionary/truespel/transpel.htm to
convert the wikipedia text to phoenetics. I then wrote a parser based on the website's phoenetic tokens,
and built a model that determines, given a letter, what the distribution of likely next letters is.
----------------------------
CONTENTS OF PROJECT:
---------------------
Mumbley.pl -- converts text to phoenetics. Requires WWW::Mechanize (easily installed from CPAN).
MumbleyModel.pl -- creates a MumbleyMarkovModel. If you have a phoeneticized document (like one produced by Mumbley.pl), you can feed it in here, and it will dump a markov model of the phoenetics. Requires HOP::Lexer (also easily installable on CPAN).
MumbleyMumbler.pl -- takes a model as input (on the command line) and dumps syllables of likely english to stdout.
Model -- this is a model that I've built from wikipedia text. The source text isn't included because I don't know if it's kosher to include all of wikipedia in a public project.
---------------------------------------
USAGE:
-------
TO GENERATE PHOENETICIZED TEXT (from a document in plaintext format):
--------------------------------------------------------------------
cat document.txt | ./Mumbley.pl > phoeneticized
TO GENERATE A NEW MODEL (from the phoeneticized text in the file phoeneticized)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
./MumbleyModel': cat phoeneticized | lynx -width=80 -stdin -dump -hiddenlinks=ignore -nolist | sed -e 's/_//g' | sed -e 's/[(),.\/0-9"-:]//g' | ./MumbleyModel.pl > Model
TO MAKE YOUR COMPUTER SPOUT GIBBERISH:(using a model in the file called Model):
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
./MumbleyMumbler.pl ./Model | xargs say [[inpt PHON]] -v whisper
