  Author: Daniel C. Howe
  Related: [RiTa.WordNet]
  Tested: Processing 1.0.x
  Installation
To install RiTa in Processing, unzip RiTa.zip and place the 'rita' folder inside the "libraries" folder of your sketchbook. If your not sure where your sketchbook is, open the Preferences window in Processing and look for the "Sketchbook location" item at the top.

To use RiTa directly in Java, you must include both the RiTa jars (rita.jar and support.jar) as well as Processing's core.jar in Java's 'classpath'. See this page for step-by-step directions in Eclipse.

  RiTa† is an easy-to-use natural language library that provides simple tools for experimenting with generative literature. The philosophy behind the API is to be as simple and intuitive as possible, while still providing adequate flexibility for more advanced users. The download comes in two flavors: 1) the 'core' package, containing the jar files and documentation, and (2) the 'TTS' package that adds text-to-speech support. Additionally, statistical models for tagging, chunking, and parsing are available for more advanced users (see 'Stat-Models'). RiTa optionally integrates with Processing and is both free and open-source.
