Speedwriter

Speedwriter makes it look like you write like a world-leading hacker or a New York Times best seller!

This nifty little tool will be a building block in Mammon, a hacking scene app for movie and television producers.

Just pick your text and start typing random letters as fast as you can or want! As any good magician knows: People will not notice the wrong keys as long as the pace is in sync and the result is correct!

Install

Speedwriter is a Go application. The easiest way to install it is via go get:

 go get -v github.com/bep/speedwriter

Is it any good?

Yes.

Use

Usage: speedwriter [FILE]

An alternative to the above, is to pipe the text to stdin, e.g.:

cat myfile.txt | speedwriter

This makes it easy to make it look like you're coding like Linus Torvalds:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/block-sha1/sha1.c | egrep -v "^(//|/\*| \*)" | tail -n +153 | speedwriter

To end the session, either finish the text or press CTRL+C.

Limitations

This application has been confirmed to work fine on OS X, but should work fine on most *nixes. Currently it doesn't work on Windows, see #1.
