I wrote a set of scripts that will automatically find rare words in a book or text. 1. The first script will FTP a very large number of ascii coded classic books from the gutenberg project (www.gutenberg.org). 2. The second one computes a histogram of word frequencies for all those books. 3. The third one takes the text where one wants to find rare words. It will start by showing all the words in it with count 0 in the histogram, then the ones with count 1 and so on. The user chooses manually which words he wants to include in the glossary and then chooses to stop as the scripts starts showing words with higher counts. 4. The chosen words are looked up automatically on web dictionary. 5. We have our glossary ready! The next step is unimplemented but what follows is to generate a TeX file for type-setting the ascii book with the dictionary terms as footnotes or as a glossary on the back.
