Usage notes

find_words

Checks input string for a given file with dictionary words and outputs those which are present in string + their positions.

I.e. default_string in find_words.py for given slangs.txt outputs output.txt.

3 arguments are possible, but optional:

• --input – input string provided from image, default: wałpzwpowodzoadinisttojewódzkizarządmelioracjiiurządzeńwodnywrocławulmatejki5aazrozkopywaniawbijanisszkadzaadarninyiinnychnpodstaapaez

• --dict – file with dictionary words, default: resources/slangs.txt

• --out – output file, default: resources/output.txt

If dictionary file is not present, then it uses polish_slang_crawler script to fetch words. The script can we modified to use different source.

Use output file to find the most suitable phrase and modify the image manually.

image_analyzer

Manual image modification is not required with this one.
