How do I determine if a random string sounds like

Question

I have an algorithm that generates strings based on a list of input words. How do I separate only the strings that sounds like English words? ie. discard RDLO while keeping LORD.

EDIT: To clarify, they do not need to be actual words in the dictionary. They just need to sound like English. For example KEAL would be accepted.

Answer 1

That sounds like quite an involved task! Off the top of my head, a consonant phoneme needs a vowel either before or after it. Determining what a phoneme is will be quite hard though! You'll probably need to manually write out a list of them. For example, "TR" is ok but not "TD", etc.
