Blank random words in a text
Project description
Buca
Buca is a small Python script to blank some words in a text. I feed it with lyrics and it gives me a text with blanks I can then fill when listening to the song. It’s very helpful for vocabulary when learning a new language.
Install
pip3 install buca
Usage
buca [--ratio RATIO] [--fixed-size] [--numbers] [--max-count COUNT] [<file>]
--ratio RATIO
: change the default blank-to-word ratio. The default is 0.12, i.e. about 12% of the words are removed.--fixed-size
: by default, missing words are replaced with a sequence of_
of the length of the word. Using this option changes that to a fixed length that doesn’t depend on the word.--numbers
: prefix blanks with an index, starting at 1. If you don’t want to print the text, you can report those numbers on a piece of paper.--max-count COUNT
: limit the blanked words count.
If <file>
is not provided or if it’s -
, the script reads on STDIN
.
Because it relies on randomness, each invocation of the script on the same text should have different results. The number of blanked words may also change.
Note that a word is defined as a sequence of two or more alphanumerical characters.
