I created haiku_robot (http://www.reddit.com/user/haiku_robot http://www.reddit.com/user/haiku_robot) on reddit and, from experience, found that it wasn't too worthwhile optimizing for accuracy. The cases where I got the syllable count wrong seemed to have an equal distribution of upvotes compared to the ones where I got it right and regional variations in pronunciation meant that I was accused of being wrong more often when I was right than when I was wrong.
- Drbble 15y agoHaiku_robot would be much better if it broke lines and only at phrase or clause boundaries, not just anywhere.
- bdr 15y agoDisagree! Enjambment suits the form. I tend to like the robot's output.
- shalmanese 15y agoAnother thing I considered but again, some of the most highly upvoted posts have been at awkward phrase boundaries.
