# fakemenot
Python CLI app to detect if a screenshot of a tweet is genuine. Work in Progress.
### Requriements
* tesseract
* tesseract-data-eng
### Setting Up
* Install `tesseract` and `tesseract-data-eng` packages.
* Ubuntu (and other debian based) : `sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-eng`
* Fedora : `sudo dnf install tessearct`
* Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S tesseract tesseract-data-eng`
* Run `python setup.py install` to install requirements. Install script is still a work in progress.
* `[ ! -f ~/.fakemenot.config ] && cp fakemenot/twitter.config ~/.fakemenot.config`
* Go to https://apps.twitter.com/app/new and put your consumer and API keys in `~/.fakemenot.config`
* Run `fakemenot` after installation. Setup will install it in your path.
### Limitations
* Since it does OCR on the image, detection rate will vary on the quality of the screenshot.
* Only support desktop screenshots now. Universal support coming soon! :)
### Arguments
* `--image/-i`
Path to the screenshot image of tweet. Only works on Desktop screenshots.
* `--limit/-l`
Specify the number of tweets to pull from the detected user. Defaults to 100. Retweets are not pulled and does not affect the limit.
* `--config/-c`
Specify an alternate configuration file containing your twitter identification and authentication material. Defaults to ~/.fakemenot.config
