Syllable Counter

===

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/m09/syllable-counter.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/m09/syllable-counter) [![Maven Central version](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/eu.crydee/syllable-counter.svg)](http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|a%3A%22syllable-counter%22) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/m09/syllable-counter/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/m09/syllable-counter?branch=master)

Uses a fallback method—based on the [NLTK readability plugin][nltk] by

Thomas Jakobsen  and Thomas Skardal

. This NLTK plugin is itself based on the

algorithm implemented in the [Lingua::EN::Syllable perl module][perl]

by Greg Fast .

Thanks to them for making their work available.

Requirements

------------

To use this Java library, you need Java 8 and Maven 3.

Installation

------------

With Maven, you can just add the following to the `dependencies`

section of your `pom.xml`:

```xml

    

      eu.crydee

      syllable-counter

      4.0.1

    

```

If you do not use maven, you can still [download][dl] the jar from

Maven Central and use it as appropriate.

Usage

-----

The usage is trivial. To retrieve the number of syllables of a word,

use the `count` method:

```java

import eu.crydee.syllablecounter.SyllableCounter;

...

SyllableCounter sc = new SyllableCounter();

int myCount = sc.count("facility");

// myCount holds 4

```
