- Synopsis
- Markov chain text generator
- Description
The detrospector program generates random text conforming to the general style and diction of a given source document. It associates each k-character substring of the source document with a probability distribution for the next character. These distributions are used to iteratively pick new characters for output. In other words, it samples a Markov chain derived from the source document.
Run detrospector -? for usage information. The program has several modes. It can generate random text, or invent individual random words which are not found in a dictionary. These modes require a chain file, which is built from a source document in another mode.
Design goals include speed and full Unicode support. I welcome suggestions and patches regarding any aspect of this program.
