Tscripter

This gem edits transcript files, given that they are in the expected format.

Current features:

• Prepends alternating IDs to spoken lines
• Detect spoken lines that start with stage directions
• Implement notation for consecutive lines by the same speaker
• If a line starts with ^, then the speaker is the same as the previous line
• The pattern *i 00:00 (where 00:00 is any timestamp) is replaced with `inaudible [00:00]

Planned features:

• Accept multiple filenames
• Accept wildcard filenames

Expected format:

• File must be .txt
• Speakers of each line must alternate
• Lines that start with square brackets (stage directions) will be skipped
• Whitespace lines are skipped

Installation

$ gem install tscripter

Usage

$ tscripter filename.txt AAA BBB

AAA and BBB are the IDs to prepend.
