pronwords

pronwords is a Go library and CLI about pronounceable words.

Introduction

pronwords comes with a word generator and a scoring mechanism to compare the pronounceableness between words. It acts upon a corpus from which it will attempt to deduct a score.

The library does not ship with a corpus but any list of words will suffice. A good starting point is the 5 character word list from http://www.poslarchive.com/math/scrabble/lists/index.html

The package also comes with a CLI to use the library directly to generate pronounceable words. See CLI > Examples
