- gojomo 17y agoThere are rhyming dictionaries, but also just parsing the pronunciation indicators of a traditional dictionary for matching end-sounds would work -- and allow matching syllable counts as well. Wiktionary includes pronunciation guides in 'IPA' symbols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet There's also 'soundex' encoding of names/words... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex
- Frocer 17y agoAhh... I see. I didn't even know such dictionaries existed! Thanks!
- hughprime 17y agoI assume it just looks it up in a rhyming dictionary.
