Well, you should know that simple substitution is impossible: the conditional character entropy is preserved by this mapping, and it's far too low for Latin or any European language. There is no way to count syllables unless you've actually deciphered the text.
If you believe that a simple substitution is nevertheless correct, why not use Sukhotin's algorithm or some other algorithm to detect vowels? You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Anyway there isn't necessarily a link between a supposed "character salad" at the end of lines and the number of syllables (counted by an program that doesn't work for any language)...
