I didn't know that was a thing! Sweet, thanks - this'll totally be useful in the future!

Oh, nice catch! I use t as a motion all the time, but that still slipped by. Just updated the post with the correction, thanks!

Are you actually working on this? Because if not, I'm tempted! Just don't want to duplicate effort here.

Sure, sure. (And thanks. ^^) But it's fun brainstorming heuristics!

That's actually why Nantucket ignores meter for now - cmudict's stress patterns are really inaccurate and unsatisfying. espeak is an interesting idea!

One thought I want to explore in a later version is using cmudict's stress patterns for polysyllabic words, but ignoring any stress/meter rules for monosyllabic words. I suspect that'll do pretty well, and it'll be interesting to test it out.
