Rhyme Mapper

Rhyme Mapper is a tool for visually exploring the phonetic structure and rhyme patterns of text, with a focus on poetry.

The tool generates a phonetic representation of a poem where each phoneme is drawn as a circle. Phoneme size is used to indicate stress, with different sizes representing primary and secondary stress.

Using phoneme sequences, the tool detects chains of rhyming words and represents the chains as paths connecting the drawn phonemes.

Rhyme Mapper supports 127 languages supported by espeak-ng.

The project is ongoing and still in its early stages.

Installation

PyPI

[!NOTE] The PyPI package is not yet available.

Docker

# Pull the latest image
docker pull akingulfidan/rhyme-mapper 

# Start the container
docker run -p 8000:8000 akingulfidan/rhyme-mapper:latest 

# Navigate to http://localhost:8000/front

Usage

1. Enter or paste your text.
2. Select the language.
3. Generate the rhyme graph.
4. Use the chain-length slider to filter the displayed rhyme paths.
5. Drag the graph to move it and scroll to zoom.

Roadmap

Short Term :

• Allow selecting phones in the visualization
• Display information on selected words and phones
• Line numbers on the text area and the visualization.
• Better rhyme path filtering tools.
• Improve documentation.
• Publish package to PyPI.

Long Term:

• Add detection for non-perfect rhymes.
• Highlight stress patterns in the visualization and display measure.
• Rhyme Scheme detection.
