JarCastingSyllable Counter
Uses a fallback method—based on the NLTK readability plugin by Thomas Jakobsen thomj05@student.uia.no and Thomas Skardal thomas04@student.uia.no. This NLTK plugin is itself based on the algorithm implemented in the Lingua::EN::Syllable perl module by Greg Fast gdf@imsa.edu.
Thanks to them for making their work available.
