+# SyllableCounter
+
+Takes a string and returns the number of syllables.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+    gem 'syllable_counter'
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install syllable_counter
+
+## Usage
+
+To get the number of syllables for a string:
+
+    SyllableCounter.get_syllables("Text to be evaluated goes here")
+    #=> 10
+
+## Algorithm
+
+The algorithm is not corpus-based but based upon
+phonemic complementary distributions as they exist in American
+English.  This is an introductory set that will keep growing.
+Suggestions for additions are absolutely welcome!  Email me at kelseymok@gmail.com.
+
+1. Assumes at least one obligatory vowel per syllable
+2. Final /e/ is not realized unless the final /e/ is preceded by an /l/
+or /r/ and a consonant (ie. -dle, -cre).
+3. Final /ed/ suffix is not realized when preceeded by a /t/ or
+/d/
+4. Final /es/ plural suffix is realized after /s/ /z/ /sh/ /dg/ /ch/
+/[aeiou]g/
+5. Two consecutive vowels outside of /[aeiouy]o/ are combined as one
+syllable
+
+Pending
+
+1. /[aeiuy]o/ does not get merged as one syllable (ie. aon, ion, eon)
+2. /iu/ combinations are two syllables
+2. Exceptions: "maybe", "Wednesday"
+3. Dialect-specific versions for English
