I'm looking at that part of the web site now, and I must admit that it really looks quite poorly organised. What you probably want is Jbovlaste, http://www.lojban.org/jbovlaste/ , which is the first entry in the not-too-intuitively-named page "Dictionaries, glossers and parsers". http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Dictionaries%2C+Glossers+and+parsers&bl

It is *very* helpful when people point out that things are difficult to find, because it usually means that several others have given up. Thank you very much!

Your speaker should [...] not be suffering for a cold, or cough, or a
hangover. If something goes wrong [...] it is important that the speaker has
as similar a voice as with the original recording, waiting for another cold
to come along is not reasonable, (though some may argue that the same
hangover can easily be induced).
