This module is like mishear, but it works on a phrase instead of just a word.
npm install mishear-phrase
(This can take a while because its dependencies need to build a few databases.)
var MishearPhrase = require('mishear-phrase');
var mishearPhrase = MishearPhrase({
shouldMishearWord: function shouldMishearWord(word, done) {
getPartOfSpeech(word, decide);
function decide(partOfSpeech) {
done(
null,
['noun', 'verb', 'adjective'].indexOf(partOfSpeech) !== -1
);
}
},
pickMishearing: function pickMishearing(mishearings, done) {
callNextTick(done, null, mishearings[0]);
}
});
mishearPhrase(
'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog', logMisheardPhrase
);
function logMisheardPhrase(error, phrase) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
}
else {
console.log(phrase);
}
}
Output:
The quack crown vox jumped over the lousy bog.
shouldMishearWord is a function that tells mishearPhrase whether it should mishear a particular word. It can be used to limit how many mishearings there are in a phrase, e.g.:
function shouldMishearWord(word, done) {
// Only mishear one in every three words.
callNextTick(done, null, ~~(Math.random() * 3) === 0);
}
It could also be used to restrict mishearing to certain parts of speech only:
function shouldMishearWord(word, partOfSpeech, done) {
getPartOfSpeech(word, decide);
function decide(partOfSpeech) {
done(
null,
['noun', 'verb', 'adjective'].indexOf(partOfSpeech) !== -1
);
}
}
The default is a function that always passes back true.
pickMishearing is a function that picks from an array of the possible mishearings for a word. You can use this to pick words at random or via whatever heuristic you like. The default is a function that always picks the first element of the array.
Run tests with make test.
Note: Because homophonizer is not deterministic, the tests sometimes pass and sometimes fail. (That needs to be changed.) But you can tell if it failed legitimately or not.
