Counting syllables |
|
|
Counting syllables is needed in text preparation for text dictations according to Intersteno rules. It is a time consuming activity which is now helped by software. Some discussions may arise about the way in which syllables are counted in the different languages, for this reason there is not (at least at the moment) an universal method and software for this counting. Here you can find information about tools available for the different languages. If you are acquainted with other software, please send an information to gianpaolo.trivulzio@alice.it |
