PyProse
Phil South - October 8, 2006Writers are always seeking inspiration, and sometimes it’s hard to come by. Software tools can help, disturbing deeply entrenched thought patterns and spinning you off into interesting new territory. PyProse is a semi-random text generator which makes sentences using rules and word lists to create almost human sentence constructions.
The results from the program are oddly poetic, like for example: “These lips were telling her vending machines. What has underbrush cooked? To decline was uncorking us. Any vanishing meal shouted. We have vilified you, and to talk grips the history of steel”.
Okay, so it’s mostly nonsense but every once in a while you generate an interesting sequence of words which give you an idea or a train of thought which diverts you from the usual well trodden pathways in your brain.
