Abstract
We present two applications of a word analysis system for the German language: pre-hyphenation of documents in various formats, and counting the syllables of all words of a document. The Si3Trenn preprocessor provides pre-hyphenation for file formats allowing for soft hyphens (currently: plain text, LaTeX, RTF). It applies reliable, sense-conveying hyphenation (SiSiSi) to each word of the input text and inserts soft hyphens directly into the text. The resulting document can be processed as usual; soft hyphens will be used for hyphenation at the end of lines if appropriate. The Si3Silb syllable counter is a helpful tool for the statistical analysis of texts, e.g. in readability studies.
