Oops, I forgot I added that to my edit draft.

Edit: Ok I added the demo.

Next is adding explanation for beginners how to set it up on different operating systems, creating an installer, and static title text.

(also i should add a background offset)

(Also, I love how my Text to Speech says "them" like "them-i-ser-fer". I don't know why it does that)

The input text must be in ASCII format.

printable = set(string.printable)

audio_txt = [filter(lambda x: x in printable, origin_txt)]

these two lines strip everything that isn't ASCII.

I simplified the script a little bit and commented to make it simpler.

I added options for user to specify a bunch of new stuff, including backgrounds.

if I were to dare to make requests

No, feel free to be creative with requests!

Here's another demo, I chose ugly red text but it's easy to change in the ALL CAPS options at the top of the script (FONT_COLOR)

Next is to add a static title!

I got it so that the scroll speed matches the speed of the Text-To-Speech. Here's my demo of it:

I'll make a user interface so you can either upload audio or use your system's Text-To-Speech.
I'm gonna create an installer so it's easy for other people to use, I'll do that tomorrow.

I'm making a python script that will do this. I'll attach my code repository for it in case anyone wants to see, it's almost done except I must match the scrolling speed with the audio speed.

Also, I found the website through when i initially was doing an internet search to learn about Epicureanism which I had very little knowledge of, and I came to the epicurean Reddit. And I found an article posted on Reddit that was an interview with Stephen Greenblatt, who I'm not familiar of but I skimmed some of his quotes, and it was very appealing to me. He described something that I have not long ago very intentionally been looking for, "In the last few years, we’ve had works by secular humanists like AC Grayling and Richard Dawkins that have tried to create a sort of secular poetry or myth to rival religious myths – but Lucretius has already done that, 2,000 years ago.. And I googled The Hymn to Venus and found your article: https://newepicurean.com/lucretius-hymn…se-of-pleasure/

and I was completely hooked from there. I haven't felt truly joyous in a long time, because of my confusion and fear of religion.

Hi,

Dear Cassius,

Your website has been greatly and quickly improving my life and preventing me from going down the painful confusing path of false philosophy.

Although I think I don't understand it as much as I expect to after more study, and I have learned to be prone to a lot of reasoning not based in true senses.

But this is AMAZING, is all I will say

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING, IT'S GENIUNELY BRINGING ME PLEASURE
