Markov Chain Text Generator

Takes text from a file and generates some random (but readable) text from it using a Markov chain. Bigger input text is recommended for more interesting results. Comes with an example input file that combines The Hobbit with Fifty Shades of Grey.

Options

  • -f --file (required): Name of file to read text from.
  • -o --order: Number of past states each state depends on. The lower the order, the greater the randomness. The higher the order, the closer the output text will match the input text.
  • -w --words: Number of words to generate.

Example usage

To generate 500 words from text in example-input with a Markov chain of order 1:

python textgen.py -f example-input -o 1 -w 500

Example output
