README¶
Sylli divides timit, strings, files and entire directories into syllables and provides other useful function for syllable analysis. Sylli was originally intended to be used with CLIPS (a corpus of spoken Italian) and NLTK (see references), but can be used on any TIMIT file, string, and with some changes languages and ASCII alphabet(default setting uses xSampa and syllabify Italian).

Websylli¶
Sylli online is a CGI for Sylli. You can find the sources and install it following these two steps:

- copy websyl.py and a sonority file sonority.txt in your cgi-bin directory. The two files have to be placed in the same directory, otherwise you’ll have to change the code.
