The goal of syllabify is to provide tidy syllabification of phonetic transcriptions. So far, only CMU dict transcriptions are supported.
I’ve largely utilized the same approach as Kyle Gorman’s python implementation
syllabifyr is now on Cran
install.packages("syllabifyr")You can also install syllabifyr from github with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("JoFrhwld/syllabifyr")library(syllabifyr)
syllabify("AO0 S T R EY1 L Y AH0")
