I do not think that vowels are automatically detected, so you need to put the
chars representing vowel sounds into a variabel tVowels . Run a repeat for each
char tChar of the string and check if tChar is in tVowels, like this (using
Norwegian vowels as an example)
put “aeioyæøå” into tVowels
repeat for each char tChar in tString
if tChar is in tVowels then
add 1 to tNumberOfVowels
end if
answer tNumberOfVowels
end repeat
