From: John Johnson To: lojban-beginners@chain.digitalkingdom.org Message-Id: <1EDB46EC-F6F9-11D8-85F3-000A9589294C@mac.com> X-archive-position: 753 X-Approved-By: johnatl@mac.com X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: lojban-beginners-bounce@chain.digitalkingdom.org Errors-to: lojban-beginners-bounce@chain.digitalkingdom.org X-original-sender: johnatl@mac.com Precedence: bulk Reply-to: lojban-beginners@chain.digitalkingdom.org X-list: lojban-beginners Since I have no one to speak lojban too, and since the pronunciation is so well defined, it sounds like an ideal application for a speech synthesizer. I haven't found one on the web yet, so I've been working on my own, using the speech synth built into Mac OS X. If one of you have time, could you listen to http://homepage.mac.com/johnatl/.cv/johnatl/Public/mi_viska.aiff- binhex.hqx or http://homepage.mac.com/johnatl/.cv/johnatl/Public/mi_viska.wav- binhex.hqx and let me know if it's even close to being right? The phonemes I used are: mIY vIYskAA nAA1hEHbOW lEH 1gEHr2kAA Thanks in advance! Regards, JJ
