Welcome to Phonesse!¶
A Toolkit for Verbal Sound Patterns!¶
Processing sound segments from text should be simple and accessible. There are a lot of tools for dealing with words (lexical items), but few tools for handling the underlying sounds of those words.
The Phonesse toolkit provides functions to:
- Extract sound segments from text
- Visualize sound segments
- Generate sets of words with customizable sound similarities
- Analyze sound patterns (More coming soon)
You can also explore live web Live Demos of some of these tools.
Although language sounds are something we usually hear, many patterns can be revealed by visualizing sound segments. Phonesse lets you visualize color-coded language sounds in MIDI and right or left-aligned grids. There are also tools for describing the stability of underlying sound patterns in sets of words or phrases.
