Alcocorrect

[hwayne]

The best writers were alcoholics. Presumably their editors fixed all the "I can't find the keyboard" typos. But we don't need editors, because we have autocorrect. Surely hammering out an entire novel while drunk and then having autocorrect fix all the typos will lead to a perfectly accurate text, and not some nonsensical abomination, right?

...Right?

A pretty unique take on NaNoGenMo! I dig it!

Are you planning to actually get drunk for the entire period that you transcribe some work by hand, or are you going to use a typo generator (like netfilters' scramble filter or my disarticulate script)?

I was planning on rolling my own typo generator that simulates hitting the wrong key; I also like your idea of transposing characters, too.

Maybe I should write the program drunk, at least

Hitting the wrong key is a good idea! I felt like I'd need to make a map of keys that are near other keys & that would be a lot of work, which is why (IIRC) I didn't do that in my scramble script.

A keyboard is more or less a 2D array.

For a slip of the finger add an offset of one or two (or more!) indices in one or two directions.
