Syllable count output?

[Yvan Rose]

Dear Joe,
We can certainly work with you on this within Phon. We could for example extract number of syllables per utterance, divided by utterance length. This would avoid computing pauses/gaps between utterances/speech turns. We could also automatically skip the utterances which contain a pause marker. Of course all depending on how general or specific you want your measure to be!

Yvan
