distantreading

Trying out Haskell by writing some digital humanities text analysis tools.

Requirements

Setup

Clone the repo, then run:

stack build
stack install

This will create distantreading and distantreading-server executables.

Usage: distantreading --target TARGET [-s|--sentence]
  Generate statistics about a text file

Available options:
  --target TARGET          Target file
  -s,--sentence            Get sentence stats instead of word stats
  -h,--help                Show this help text

This will start the service on port 4444.
