I was trying to track down something that could test a string for "Pronounceability" and though I actually doubt there's anything that might be freely available.
I was actually a bit surprised to find that Microsoft has a library. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms718902(VS.85).aspx
This got me thinking, maybe it does exist elsewhere or maybe there's some reasonable combination of soundex+foo that I might be able to put together that would award either a BOOL or a "% RATING" that might help me determine if a generated string is pronounceable.
How would you tackle the problem? Difficulty: make it happen on a LAMP system (I'd like my web server to automatically categorize the PINDEX for the words).
EDIT: oo... found some more cool links. Cool! :)

EDIT2:
oh my! there is a google code project available:

If I do manage to get it working, I'll be sure to follow up with a brief tutorial.
