Twext

twext is twin text to help you to learn and teach language..
"twext" and "twexter" are trademarks of READ.FM

twexter

twexter is software that twexts text.. twexter helps you do three things:

chunk

break text into word groups or "chunks"

translate

translate the chunks

format

style the chunk translation as twext

test

esto es una prueba de twext
this is     a test         of  twext
queremos saber si este texto
we want      to know if   this text
se ve como el imagen debajo
looks    like   the image     below

above might look like below:

if not, no big deal.. but it may show text twexting predictably in fixed font monospace typeset like andale mono:

this makes it easier to input and edit twext:

space chunking

space chunk means you can define chunks with spaces, so twext translation is lots easier to edit.. we're starting to test space chunking here:

http://test.twext.com

test in any language or dialect

xcroll

xcroll still controls 2+ windows with one scrollbar.. xcroll is good for machine translation and human proofreading but space chunking is easier in single input window..

type twext

space chunking means you can just type twext:

esto es  una prueba  de  twext
this is  a test  of  twext
queremos  saber  si  este texto
we want  to know  if  this text
se ve  como  el imagen  debajo
looks  like  the image  below

simple.. just add a space where you want to chunk, and add corollary space in the translation line.. twexter now reads such input and saves:

esto es  una prueba  de  twext
this is  a test      of  twext
queremos  saber    si  este texto
we want   to know  if  this text
se ve  como  el imagen  debajo
looks  like  the image  below

minimal styling more editable

queremos que sea  super  fácil
we want it to be  -      easy
de twextear texto  en donde sea
to twext text      anywhere

so you can now edit twext in a single text file:

F2

and F2 toggle to xcroll (twin inputs)

• explicit chunks (vertical array, to autotranslate and proof)
• space chunk (text/twext side to side, for real fast input)

then back to just type twext in single input..

to test cursor must be active in twext edit, which you access by clicking "left" or "west" part of twext x icon in upper left of page

direct edit

soon you will be able to edit twext more directly

wixi

when twexter is really easier to use, then we can wixi (make twext work with wiki software)

wixi is for kids
