I'm working on these fun things called allophones. Sounds like a musical instrument right? "Now come on my son, go inside to eat and put down those allophones this minute!"
Not even close. They are different, non-meaningful pronunciations (variants) of the same phoneme (basic sound unit) that occur in specific, predictable phonetic environments, like the aspirated 'p' in "pin" versus the unaspirated 'p' in "spin". Speakers of a language perceive these variations as the same sound, but they are distinct phonetic realizations that don't change a word's meaning, unlike phonemes which do.

they're all mapped in data.py - right now about 100-130 or so, but the IPA symbol of the sound is what each dictionary key entry is, and then the various voicing properties that create that sound. Many TTS engines do not pronounce IPA notation, oddly enough Espeak and NV Speech player do because Espeak has mapped these well in its own table. Eloquence? Just treats it like a questionmark. Haha, OK, it looks like there are 97 keys in the current data.

Hileo. I could just opt for a vanilla shake,but no Iasked, for a butterscotch mult,you have neither butterscotch, and no mult

One of my favorite artists ever, Taylor Acorn, was involved in writing this song so of course it's good. youtu.be/4okJouEbZ_s
