Objection! rendering engine 👨🏼‍⚖️

Code that allows you to convert chains of comments into ace attorney scenes. It's meant to be used by bots or other apps. List of users:

This is a fork of a wonderful Reddit bot

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Python 3 with pip
  • FFMPEG instalation. In most Linux distros it should be available in the default package manager. In Windows systems it'd include downloading a pre-compiled zip folder, extracting it and adding the /bin folder into the system path

Optional

  • Google Translation API Credentials: These are needed for language support other than English. Other languages may work even without this credentials as the system will fallback to TextBlob's translation system.
  • Libraqm: Improves text rendering on right-to-left languages. In windows refer to the faq.md

Installing

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/LuisMayo/objection_engine

Install dependencies (in case any problems are encountered please check faq.md)

(optional) In case you want language support outside English install polyglot and its dependencies: (if on windows check faq.md)

pip install pyICU pycld2 morfessor polyglot
python -m polyglot download TASK:sentiment2
