regarding your soudex syllable request- i think counting vowel clusters in the word will result in an accurate count of syllables. so no soudex feature is necessary, just count through the chars in the word, and everytime you run from vowel to consanant, increment the syllable count.
using this logic, this sentence is categorized as follows.
2 1 2 1 1 (3) (0) (4) (0) 2
where (#) marks a word that is incorrectly categorized. i'm sure usiong a little thinking one could figure out the logic in those cases that would result in an accurate count. counting changes from vowel to consanant would yield-
(1) 1 2 1 2 1 (4) 1 2
taking the average and then cieling of the two types would fix most of the errors.
