Tool to explore using several different algorithms for parsing orthographic words into syllables. It can also insert discretionary hyphens in words.

Features

  • Can get word lists from ParaTExt and FLEx
  • Can see predicted syllabification and quickly compare to correct syllabification
  • Can export hyphenated words for use by ParaTExt and InDesign
  • Runs on Linux, Mac,and Windows.
  • Can syllabify thousands of words per second.
  • Can backup and restore datasets. The backup can include a comment about what the state was at the time.
  • Can compare what is different between two backups (or the current implementation and a backup)
  • Can be used as a spelling checker (if a word will not syllabify, it may have a typo). (Noted by David J. Weber in http://www.sil.org/resources/publications/entry/29601)
