sylcount: Syllable Counting and Readability Measurements

Description

An English language syllable counter, plus readability score measure-er. For readability, we support Flesch Reading Ease and Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (Kincaid et al. 1975), Automated Readability Index (Senter and Smith 1967), Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (McLaughlin 1969), and Coleman-Liau (Coleman and Liau 1975). The package has been carefully optimized and should be very efficient, both in terms of run time performance and memory consumption. The main methods are vectorized by document, and scores for multiple documents are computed in parallel via OpenMP.
