Welcome!


This is a little file to explain what's going on in these folders.

We will follow a workflow which starts with 

    using the speech-to-text tool to generate contents,
    then create html files with the downloaded results,
    finally render the layouts, customise print and bind them
    

'0_speech' contains >

    the 'index.html' > in order to visualize which words are recognized by
    the Speech-to-text

    the 'style.css' > where is written the layout of the html page

    the index.js > where is written the code to use the Speech-to-text app

'1_pythoning' contains >

    1-2_NLTKing.py > python file for generating html for two booklets based 
    on NLTK (Natural Lanugage ToolKit)

    on image scraping from duckduckgo

    pythonInstallationParty.txt > instructions for install libraries we'll use

'2_layout' contains >

    the folder 'pagedjs_files' > the library Paged.js
    Paged.js is a free and open source JavaScript library that paginates 
    content in the browser to create PDF output from any HTML content.

    the folder 'styles' > there are three different .css files that change
    the layouts and fonts

    [not yet but] html files > where you can visualize the render of the layouts.
