How syllables are counted

Each syllable contains exactly one vowel sound. The tool groups consecutive vowels into a single syllable (beat = 1, create = 2), drops silent final e (hope = 1 but hoping = 2), counts le endings (table = 2), and applies special rules for common irregulars like fire, poem and quiet.
