Ran-Dumb

Changing the order of a few words in a large sentence can completely change its meaning. Speech and languages are not just some characters which help us understand each other, because we wouldn’t if it weren’t for corresponding sentence building rules. In case you do know them, Ran-Dumb does two, and you can have a little fun by generating random phrases.

Can be used on the go

One thing you need to do before checking out the application’s set of features is to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your PC to ensure proper functionality. No other software requirements need to be met, and the application can even be carried around on a USB flash drive and used on the go.
All the application has to offer is presented in a clean, compact main window. A field needs to be filled in with values that determine the length and type of generated phrase, with it being instantly shown in a dedicated pane at the press of a button.

Item order dictates result

The application works by replacing parts of speech with corresponding words from its database. As such, you need to write adjective, adverb, noun, pronoun, preposition, verb, and question word, after which the application instantly replaces them with a random pick from the database.
However, there’s a catch to all this, and chances are you either burst into hysterical laughter, or feel insulted and immediately quit. This is because you need to place part of speech tags in the exact order to make a sentence, or you can end up receiving phrases like “Wooden closely close glass thing whose beside whom.” or other random enumeration of words.
Last but not least, the database is made up of individual TXT files containing parts of speech. These can be accessed with a basic text editor, thus giving you the possibility to add new words, or change lists completely. Sadly, you need to manually write down generated phrases, because these aren’t saved to file, and the result panel doesn’t allow the copy operation.

In conclusion

All things considered, we can state that Ran-Dumb doesn’t come with a fixed idea in mind, other than to bring a smile on your face, so don’t judge, or take it too seriously. Some knowledge is required on your behalf to properly arrange sentence elements, but even if you don’t, it’s still worth a try overall.
