What the checker looks at
What the checker looks at
Rhythm: the syllable count of each part. Patterns such as 2-1-2 or 1-3-1 change beat; the same count throughout can sound flat.
Sounds that run together: when one part ends on the consonant the next begins with, the two blur (Jack Kelly). Vowel into vowel is a softer version. Rhymes between parts are flagged.
Initials: three-letter monograms that spell a word a child would hear about are flagged.
Pronunciations come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary. For names and surnames it does not list, the check reads the spelling, which is less reliable.
