    There are certain rules for syllable detection, you can view the rules from the website: Counting Syllables in the English Language Using Python

  3. One thing that I would like to add that will increase the accuracy of the syllable account - (to my knowledge). I noticed that the string "changes" shows as only being 1 syllable. I removed es from (?:[^laeiouy]es|ed|[^laeiouy]e)$ so that it's now ?:[^laeiouy]|ed|[^laeiouy]e)$. This seems to add the extra syllable count for words ending in "es".

  4. 3. Specification for a syllable: Each group of adjacent vowels (a, e, i, o, u, y) counts as one syllable (for example, the "ea" in "real" contributes one syllable, but the "e...a" in "regal" counts as two syllables). However, an "e" at the end of a word doesn't count as a syllable. Also each word has at least one syllable, even if the previous ...

    But in boil it's only one syllable. Also, not counting the final vowel is not always accurate. Consider the name Penelope or Hermione. Or banana. Another curious case is when the syllable exists without a printed vowel. For example, table is a bisyllabic word but the second syllable is generated by the invisible sound between b and l. Also, don ...

  6. For instance (“eye”) as in “meyer.”. Generate a program called SyllableCounter that counts syllables in a word or sentence (maximum one. line). Assume the user will not use any punctuation. Pseudocode and a testing plan are required. Do not print in main(). Sample output: Please enter your word or sentence, followed by a carriage return.

    @WouterLievens: I don't think names are anywhere near well-behaved enough for automatic syllable parsing. A syllable parser for English names would fail miserably on names of Welsh or Scottish origin, let alone names of Indian and Nigerian origins, yet you might find all of these in a single room somewhere in e.g. London. –

  8. Current. I’ve re-worked this syllable counter script to: Get the value of textarea 1. Count the number of syllables in textarea 1. Display the results in textarea 2. Update the count every time the value of textarea 1 is edited. Act as a function (be able to run in multiple instances if wanted).

    I did benchmarking at the time (got a lot of help using hash tables from talkstats.com people) but can't remember off hand. let's just say that it's as fast as on line syllable counters and more accurate. I use a combined dictionary/algorithm approach. The hash table makes it fly. –

  10. word = word.replace(/^y/, ''); This line removes 'y'-s from the beginning of words (probably 'y' at the beginning does not count as a syllable -- which makes sense in my opinion). ^ is the anchor for matching the beginning of the line, or string (c.f. $ mentioned above). Note: the algorithm only works if word really contains one single word.

  11. Of course there are many words (eg, many one-syllable words ending in e) where number of syllables and number of vowels differ, and of course there are vowel digraphs and questionable vowels, but for most words it's a simple vowel per syllable. Also, question does not ask about splitting into syllables, it asks about counting syllables.
