[Haskell-cafe] phonetic dictionnary

2010-03-25 Thread Dupont Corentin
Hello,
sorry if i ask a lot of questions these days!
Do you know of a phonetic dictionnary?

i'm very fond of enigmas. To solve certain enigmas, i've made a little
program that search into a french dictionnary.
But it would be much better if i could search into a phonetic dictionnary...
The goal is to answer questions like Wich word would rhyme with aligator?

You should have a looks at soundexes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundex

the algorithm is really simple and you can process a whole dictionnary
in no time to obtain what you're looking for.

Hello,
i've allready looked at soundex.
But it's too simple for what i need.
For example the hash code for toto and tata is the same, if i remember.
But those two doesn't rhymes.

Thanks, this dictionnary is exactly what i wanted! Too bad it doesn't
exists in French!

 There is the CMU phonetic dictionary for English at
 http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict but I know of nothing for
 French. Perhaps there is an open-source text-to-speech engine that has
 a free French pronouncing dictionary.
