Automatically convert plain text into phonemes (US English pronunciation) and syllabify.

Modified from [the repository](https://github.com/cainesap/syllabify) set up by Andrew Caines with some key changes, itemised below:

- Environment management using Poetry
- Python 3.9+ compatibility
- Easy to access class and function interfaces

## Set up

Requires [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads) (Anthony Evans used Python 2: if that's what you prefer, see his repo).

```bash
pip install syllabify
```

## Usage

### Package interface

```python
from syllabify import syllabify
word = syllabify("linguistics")
print(word)
```

```text
L IH0 NG {onset: L, nucleus: IH0, coda: NG}
G W IH1 {onset: GW, nucleus: IH1, coda: empty}
S T IH0 K S {onset: ST, nucleus: IH0, coda: KS}
```

You can get the onset, nucleus, and coda of each syllable:

```python
from syllabify import syllabify

word = syllabify("linguistics")
for syllable in word.syllables:
    print(f"Onset: {syllable.onset}")
    print(f"Nucleus: {syllable.nucleus}")
    print(f"Coda: {syllable.coda}")
```

```text
Onset: L
Nucleus: IH0
Coda: NG
Onset: GW
Nucleus: IH1
Coda: empty
Onset: ST
Nucleus: IH0
Coda: KS
```

### Command line interface

One word at a time:

```bash
syllabify linguistics
```

```text
πŸ“ Input: linguistics
πŸ”€ Syllabification:

LIH0NG [L.IH0.NG] | ˈGWIH1 [GW.IH1.βˆ…] | STIH0KS [ST.IH0.KS]

πŸ“– Legend:
  [onset.nucleus.coda] = syllable structure
  βˆ… = empty position
  ˈ = primary stress
  ˌ = secondary stress
  | = syllable boundary
```

Or several (space-separated):

```bash
syllabify colorless green ideas
```

```text
πŸ“ Input: colorless green ideas
πŸ”€ Syllabification:

  ˈKAH1 [K.AH1.βˆ…] | LER0 [L.ER0.βˆ…] | LAH0S [L.AH0.S]
  ˈGRIY1N [GR.IY1.N]
  AY0 [βˆ….AY0.βˆ…] | ˈDIY1 [D.IY1.βˆ…] | AH0Z [βˆ….AH0.Z]

πŸ“– Legend:
  [onset.nucleus.coda] = syllable structure
  βˆ… = empty position
  ˈ = primary stress
  ˌ = secondary stress
  | = syllable boundary
```
