Question

How to split the syllables in a NSString using Objective-c. Is there any API for that? Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

NOOO, It cant be.

As Syllables are not in fixed way. There are no patterns to check.

And programming is done to automate things, even AI is implemented when there are something common, unique in any manner.

Water is to broken into Wa + ter.

Objective-c is to be broken into Ob + jec + tive-c.

This makes no algorithm to perform and automate the task using any of the API of obj-C.

EDIT:

As per your comments, find the code:

NSString *word=@"encyclopedia";
NSString *formattedWord=word;
for (NSString *vowel in @[@"a",@"e",@"i",@"o",@"u",@"A",@"E",@"I",@"O",@"U"]) {
    formattedWord=[formattedWord stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:vowel withString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<<<%@",vowel]];
}    
NSArray *brokenWord=[formattedWord componentsSeparatedByString:@"<<<"];

NSString *syllables=[brokenWord componentsJoinedByString:@"+"];

NSLog(@"Syllables of %@ are %@",word,syllables);
