Syllabic division of words

[Randall Lee Reetz]

Sorry, I have been spelling "phoneme" wrong.  Here is a link to the  
apple tech to which I refereed:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Mac/Sound/Sound-201.html

It is part of the text-to-speech tool box.  Makes sense.  And it is  
available to all.  I would be surprised if something similar wasn't  
also available in Windows and Unix.  It works in reference to  
language-specific libraries, and is thus portable and localizable.

On the Mac, SuperCard used to provide a hook into this functionality  
(maybe through an external).
