Installation

Nodeless

If you want it working straight in a browser:

• Copy the contents of the nodeless/SyllaRhyme folder.

• Make sure the file paths at the top of SyllaRhyme.js point correctly.

• Then just include the script with UTF-8 encoding:

  <script src="SyllaRhyme/SyllaRhyme.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Usage

var SyllaRhyme = require( 'syllarhyme' ); //if using Node  

SyllaRhyme( function( sr ) {
    console.log( sr.rhymes( 'rhymes' ) );
    //["chimes", "dime's", "dimes", "heims", "himes", "hymes", "imes", "kimes", "climbs", "climes", "limes", "grimes", "crime's", "crimes", "crymes", "prime's", "primes", "rimes", "simes", "symes", "sometimes", "time's", "times", "times'"]
    console.log( sr.rhymesWith( 'rhymes', 'with' ) );
    //false
    console.log( sr.pronunciation( 'pronunciation' ) );
    //["P R OW0 N AH2 N S IY0 EY1 SH AH0 N", "P R AH0 N AH2 N S IY0 EY1 SH AH0 N"]
    console.log( sr.pronunciation( 'pronunciation', 'ipa' ) );
    //["p r oʊ n ʌ n s i eɪ ʃ ə n", "p r ə n ʌ n s i eɪ ʃ ə n"]
    console.log( sr.syllables( 'syllables' ) );
    //3
