Instructions

Here's how to use this web app.

1. Paste the text that you want to colorize in the box below. If your text is long, you should break it up into smaller sections, like 1,000 or 2,000 lines of text at a time. The slower your computer, the less text you should try to process at a time. (Processing happens directly in your browser.)
2. Press the "Colorize" button. It may take a minute for the program to run.
3. The output will appear as HTML in the box at the bottom.
4. Copy that HTML into a text editor and save the file with an.html file extention.
5. Open the HTML file in your browser to view the contents.
6. If you know CSS and want to edit the colors, you can edit the generated HTML file. (In the future, you will be able to do that directly on this page.)
7. To create a PDF, print the HTML page as a PDF file.
8. To convert to Kindle-format or ePub, take a look at the free program Calibre.

Here is a short video of the process:
