reim-o-mat.de | From PHP to Poetry and Back
The slam poet has carried the art of poetry into the world of programming and built a rhyming machine based on spoken sound.
The principle is simple: not counting letters, but listening to sounds. The machine effectively listens along — and finds what truly fits together.
The whole system runs on PHP, right in the sober world of web code — except that instead of juggling numbers, it swaps syllables.
The result is called Reim-o-mat:
a digital ear for rhymes in the German language.
A tool for anyone who writes, rhymes, crafts texts — or simply enjoys language.
This is where algorithms meet alliteration.
And the poet demonstrates that even machines can develop a sense of sound — if you teach them how to write poetry.
