You can use the below program with the klatt-0.02 code, and the
TIMIT.mostlikely.Z database, to obtain a 6,100 english word
pronunciation database.  It is not perfect, but it is pretty
reasonable.

The single most horrible pronunciation is ss.


Info to the TIMIT.mostlikely.Z database (from news posting):

	If you would like to get these pronunciations, they are
	available via anonymous ftp from ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu in the
	directory pub/speech. The file is called "TIMIT.mostlikely.Z".

Info to klatt-0.02 code:

	The package klatt-0.02.tar.Z exists on svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk
	in directory comp.speech/sources.

#!/bin/sh

# This file translates Allophones as used in the TIMIT database to
# phonemes used by klatt-0.02.

# phoneme codes that are ok as is:
# ix en
