Installation

This project needs flask and python to run.

Install the dependencies and start the server.

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install spacy
python main.py

After running main.py stanford parser will be downloaded you may run into some errors related to classpath of java, google them they shouldn't be so hard to fix Open the browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:5000/ and see the project in action.

NOTE

The project uses SIGML files for animating the words and they may not be accurate as making SIGML through HamNoSys is a long and tedious task and whoever made the sigml files which this project uses may not be accurate.
