What is this?

A console application for counting the syllables of user-supplied words.

How do I run it?

After cloning the repository, you'll need to install the Newtonsoft.Json NuGet package. Should then run in Visual Studio.

Alternatively, you can download the Release.zip file, unzip it, and run "SyllableCounter.exe". If you are not on a Windows machine, you'll need to use Mono to run the .exe file.

What is here?

App counts words using the "Written Method" (basically, it counts groups of contiguous vowels).

What is next?

See if a machine-learning approach can outperform the Written Method.
