The Cut'n'Mix Word Processor dates back to the 1990s and is the first Windows shareware application I released for sale. The initial concept was to create something like a 4-track audio recorder/mixer which could produce random mixes from 4 independent "streams" of text data. Over time, the functionality was expanded to include such things as "automatic poetry", "word morphing" and word substitution. These later features were achieved by including an embedded database containing a custom dictionary dividing words into different grammatical categories...
Cut'n'Mix is nothing like a conventional word processing application: it is not intended to be used for "straight writing". It is a tool to help creative writers generate new ideas through experimentation with different methods of text randomization and manipulation. Development and sale of the Cut'n'Mix application ended in 2012, but the application is still available for free download (without technical support) from The Cut'n'Mix home page.
From the archives: You will find the reboot of Cut'n'Mix and it's original website here: Esoteric Sensationalism.
