An image is worth a thousand words

[StreetWanderer]

Or at least that's what they say.
Let see where I can go with converting an image to a novel.

Just a funny snippet of a bogus result I got :
"Nays nays nays."
(Note that I'm working with a Nyan Cat image for now)

Does any of you have a Python-friendly spellchecker ? I'm using PyEnchant but it feel kind of dumb.

[StreetWanderer]

Well.
I'm 1 day late for posting but here is all I got :
The Novel

The Code

Aaa maya. Aaa maya say nay. Nay nada.

Nay a maya nay a nay nays nays. Yancy.

Could you explain your method a bit more?

[StreetWanderer]

Yes! Sorry I pushed all of that in the middle of a rush.

Basically the script takes an image file, extract CMYK color for each pixel and convert that into words using a dictionary.

I also updated the Readme with more details.

Okay, I get it know. It was making me think of strung-out DNA words.

I like the end result. This is an unusual sourcing strategy. Not one that can be well-adapted for coherence, but that's not a concern.

Although I wonder if it would be possible to steganographically encode an image that this algo could then turn into a coherent text.....

[StreetWanderer]

Thinking about your steganography idea I did a quick and dirty thing that take a text file and create an image file with it.
I also added the function to get the text back from the image.
