Syllable-Based Segmentation

Syllable-based segmentation involves dividing words into their basic sound units called syllables, which typically consist of a vowel sound with or without surrounding consonants. This process helps in understanding how words are constructed and improves language processing tasks like reading and speech recognition. For example, the word "computer" can be segmented into "com-pu-ter." By breaking words into syllables, systems can better analyze pronunciation, identify word boundaries, and assist language learners or speech applications in processing speech more effectively.
