All Implemented Interfaces:

UtteranceProcessor
```
public class Segmenter
extends java.lang.Object
implements UtteranceProcessor
```
Annotates an utterance with Relation.SYLLABLE, Relation.SYLLABLE_STRUCTURE, and Relation.SEGMENT. To determine stress, the isStressed method relies upon a phone ending in the number "1". Subclasses should override isStressed and deStress if stresses are determined in other ways.
