Description
I am thinking of a software that would act as a ghost writer. It will help people capable of reading and writing but who are struggling with writing, getting their ideas down on 'paper' or I should say in text. The user will accompany the machine throughout the process, he will keep putting in input, and agreeing or modifying the text in order to proceed to a complete model.
The beginning of the whole process is the user speaking to the software, with voice recognition, and a recording, the software will have the an idea of the way they express themselves, the use of words, it might be able to recognise the tone of voice, and after a few uses it will get to know the users personality through their language.
But for the first text someone would like to complete, the process will be as follows:
choose a language
- English - French - German - Dutch - …
Speak to me
a button you need to click to start however much time you need to talk about the next you want to write when done click the button again to end (can always go back and add to recording or record again, cut out parts of the recording, visual timeline of sound) The the following options will appear, the user will have to fill in the details
form of text
- Letter - dissertation - blog - article - essay - etc.
style of writing
(depending on the previous answer) e.g. Essay
- technical - creative - narrative - descriptive - other…
Length of text
(choose one) ~ roughly | = exactly characters …….. words……. pages……. 3
Key words for title
| write your words here |
Propositions
according to the recording and keywords 3 title propositions will appear. 1 ……... 2 …….. 3 ……..
choose one, can be modified or click again to generate another title or question. when done:
plan for essay
intro …... ….. ….. body ….. …... ….. conclusion …... …... …..
(same as before, can be modified, or regenerated) once agreed upon a plan, the user clicks:
Write my essay
the essay is being generated |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| process bar
once it’s complete the 3 pages you asked for about your specific topic are ready, you must read it carefully to see if this is really what you meant to say, you can also edit, or go back to change a few settings. If you are happy you can :
——export—— save—— print—— publish——
comments
The users ideas are still there, the person must be capable of reading and being able to judge the content. However they can fully trust the machine to make no spelling or grammatical errors. They can edit and control the text at any moment during the process. The machine will do as best as it can to take down the initial main spoken or written ideas to produce a coherent prose suited to the user's needs.
If or when the machine would be fully functioning -- fitting every user's writing style so perfectly that the work of the machine would be invisible -- it might cause problems and be highly criticised. It will be considered as cheating for educational institutes or many other institutions, or will it become an equivalent of a calculator, the input remains human. Ghost writing already exists in human form, what difference would it make if it were replaced by a machine, how will the moral or ethical values change?
