Talk Powerpoint Generator\n\n[![CircleCI](https://circleci.com/gh/korymath/talk-generator.svg?style=svg\u0026circle-token=dcba7d5a9ff7953cff0526e201990c0b811b3aae)](https://circleci.com/gh/korymath/talk-generator)\n[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/korymath/talk-generator/branch/master/graph/badge.svg?token=gqkCyuXop0)](https://codecov.io/gh/korymath/talk-generator)\n[![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/mashape/apistatus.svg)](https://github.com/korymath/britbot/blob/master/LICENSE.md)\n\nThis program automatically generates PowerPoints about any topic.\nThese presentation slide decks can be used by improvisers for the improvisational comedy format *\"Improvised TED talk\"* or *\"Powerpoint Karaoke\"*.\nIn such games, the actors have to present an unseen presentation slide deck, but pretend to be an expert and explain *\"their\"* slide show choices.\n\n## Demo\n\nTy out this generator on our online platform: [talkgenerator.com](http://talkgenerator.com/).\n\n### Example\n\n![Automatically Generated](https://media.giphy.com/media/MXXe522nIAA9JZjExI/giphy.gif)\n\n## Easy Install and Run\n\nOur program relies on certain APIs that require authentication in order to use it.\nCreate a file named `.env` (don't forget the period) in your project directory, and fill this with the correct API keys as described on our [wiki page about this](https://github.com/korymath/talk-generator/wiki/Setting-Up-API-Keys).\n\n```sh\n# Make a new Python 3 virtual environment\npython3 -m venv venv;\n\n# Activate the virtual environment\nsource venv/bin/activate;\n\n# Upgrade pip and install  requirements\npip install --upgrade pip setuptools;\npython3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt;\n\n# Download NLTK dependencies\npython run_nltk_download.py;\n\n# Install the Talk Generator\npip install -e .;\n\n# Generate a 10 slide talk with topic peanuts\ntalkgenerator --topic \"peanuts\" --num_slides 10\n```\n\n### Run arguments\n\n| Argument               | Description               |\n| ---------------------- | ------------------------- |\n| `topic` | The topic of the generator. This works best if it is a common, well-known noun. Use comma-separated words to generate a slide deck about multiple topics |\n| `slides` | The number of slides in the generated presentation (*default: 10*) |\n| `schema` | The presentation schema to use when generating the presentation. Currently, only two modes are implemented, being `default` and `test` (for testing during development) |\n| `title` | Title of the presentation. Either `topic` or this one should to be set in order to generate a slide deck (just setting `topic` is usually more fun though)  |\n| `presenter` | The name that will be present on the first slide. Leave blank for an automatically generated name |\n| `output_folder` | The folder to output the generated presentations (*default: `./output/`*) |\n| `save_ppt` | If this flag is true(*default*), the generated powerpoint will be saved on the computer in the `output_folder`|\n| `open_ppt` | If this flag is true (*default*), the generated powerpoint will automatically open after generating|\n| `parallel` | If this flag is true (*default*), the generator will generate all slides in parallel |\n\n## Program structure\n\nSee the [wiki](https://github.com/korymath/talk-generator/wiki/Program-structure) to know more about the inner implementation.\n\n## Tests\n\nTest files are `tests/*.py`, prefixed with `test_`. Test files use the `unittest` module.\nThey can easily be run all together when using PyCharm by right clicking on `talk-generator` and pressing *Run 'Unittests in talk-generator'*\n\n```sh\ncoverage run -m pytest; coverage html\n```\n\nTest coverage is automatically handled by `codecov`. Tests are automatically run with CircleCI based on the `.yml` file in the `.circleci` directory.\n\n## Credits\n\nThis generator is made by\n[Thomas Winters](https://github.com/TWinters)\nand [Kory Mathewson](https://github.com/korymath),\nwith contributions from\n[Shaun Farrugia](https://github.com/h0h0h0)\nand [Julian Faid](https://github.com/jfaid).\n\nIf you would like to refer to this project in academic work, please cite the following paper:\n\nWinters T., Mathewson K.W.
