We are developing a DECTalk application that we need to speak a few Spanish
words and phrases using the American English version of DECTalk.  Is there
any way to get a convincing trilled Spanish 'r' using the English phonemes?

Using the English r sound makes it sound too much like a gringo speaking. :-)

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
