With an English accent perhaps, if you enter phonemes directly (we do not have a German dictionary built in)

Every language has its own set of phonemes, and on top of that, the source material we have modeled changes slightly from model to model, so even if you only use English you will get some interesting color or different accent from voice to voice.

To officially support other languages would mean to add the language-specific phonemes for each voice for each language, a huge endeavor. But this is just 1.0

Haha, probably not as consistent in my tagging scheme as I should. I use different color squares for different tests.
For the rest, it is assumed it is OK nowadays

Dead chips usually get a huge X written on them.
