Questions
How are syllables counted?
Each word is looked up in a pronouncing dictionary and its vowel sounds are counted: one vowel sound, one syllable. A word the dictionary does not know is counted by its vowel groups, and marked.
How many syllables does a haiku have?
Five, seven and five syllables over three lines. Type each line and the counter shows its total.
Why can a count differ from mine?
Some words have two pronunciations with different syllables, like fire (one or two). The counter uses the first one in the dictionary.
