Does anyone know where I can download a set of phonemes?
Had a set once from Future Music mag but can't find them now.

easy to sample, you can eg. synthesize them with praat

Thanks for the suggestion of Speak and Spell. I have one that I have sampled in the past (the kids have nicked it now). I was just looking for the English set of phonemes.

it's fukken lovely maan.. "make sure you specify the correct bioelectrical impulse for each desired muscle movement above the neck to the nearest tenth of a nanosecond" :p

help file is GOOD, i was working in 10 minutes

goseba - if you can't sample/synthesize, look after mbrola.. i believe there are several sets of m+f phonemes from several cultures.. not sure if you'll need to convert them. also sets for flinger, but those would be at 11kHz sample rate..

What is that?

Phonemes are the basic speech sounds that make up words, ie. sh, ee, ah etc. The English language has 46 of them.
