Basic steps to use:

  1. Create a new project (File / New)
  2. Click on CV Segment Inventory and add, modify, and/or delete segments. Put the various ways the segment/character can appear in the graphemes field.
  3. Click on CV Natural Classes and add, modify, and/or delete the natural classes. You wil use these classes to define patterns for syllables. Click on the elipsis button to change the content of a class.
  4. Click on CV Syllable Patterns and add, modify, and/or delete patterns. The syllabification algorithm will try to find sequences of these syllable patterns in each word. The order of the patterns is significant. The parser will try to match the first listed pattern. When that fails, it tries the next pattern. It does this left-to-right through the word.
  5. Use File / Import Words to get a set of words to try and syllabify.
  6. Use Tools / Syllabify Words to run the algorithm on the set of words.
  7. Use Tools / Convert predicted to correct syllabification to set the correct syllabification (or merely type in the correct syllabification, using a period to indicate a syllable break).
  8. Use File / Project Management / Backup this project to save the current state (or make a backup)
  9. Use Tools / Compare implementations to compare the current state (or an earlier backup) with some other backup. This generates a report showing what is different between the two implentations (states).
  10. Use File / Export Hyphenated Words to export a set of words with discretionary hyphens inserted.
