A syllabic highlighter for Word in French language. Developed in VBA Word, the macro SurlignageSyllabique analyses every word contained in selection, calling a Python script to make their syllabation. Finally, it highlights each syllable with different colors, thanks to this analysis. This project has been made-to-mesure for a French teacher in reading learning grade.
-
Please note that the syllabation is based on French grammar rules and therefore brings no garantee for other languages.
-
In addition to SurlignageSyllabique, the project comes with SurlignageSemantique, which highlights words the same way.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for running purposes.
