An openFrameworks project for a singing and printing sculpture.
Features:
- Reads sentences from an XML file
- Prints a single sentence per receipt with big margins.
- Plays a video for the duration of printing the sentence.
- plays audio only while printing words(uses multi-threading)
- has different possible speeds
- I scraped the novel Anna Karenina for every sentence that started with the word "She." The python code I used to do so is also included and is called "sheScrape.py".
