http://wry.me/sonnetron/ http://wry.me/sonnetron/ computes meter using cmudict. It worked fine there, I think, though the word salad it's running over is easier -- when phrases make actual sense you sometimes get a verb mispronounced as a noun, and so on. The logic is simple: reject a word if it has both stressed and unstressed syllables, with a stressed one falling on an unstressed beat in the meter. Pass anything else. Very neat project, BTW. I've been wanting a good solution to the unknown-word problem. Here's a post on my blank-verse detector before: http://darius.livejournal.com/48525.html http://darius.livejournal.com/48525.html
