However, it does contain 118894 words. I will try and convert all these words to audio for you. I assume Paul is acceptable (let me know if it is not). Also, any specific version? I don't know whether one is easier than another. It may take some time, both because I am busy and because that's a really large number of words. I should also ask you if I should compress the resulting audio to any format? I could do mp3, ogg, etc. and if you are attaching it to an android app the library could be smaller.

Or would you prefer me to have a program automatically create a wave file of each word in a dictionary? How large a database should I use? If you have one, I can just use that, or I have some word lists of my own that could be effective. Any of these can be easily written if you desire it, but I just need the program spec so I know what to do.

>>> Hi,
>>> While I was speaking with Snoopi tonight, he asked me to post a question to the listserv. Would it be possible to create a program which can copy all words from a dictionary for use in Dectalk speak window? I refer to a normal dictionary not the Dectalk dictionary. In such a program, individuals would select a word from a list of icons. The word would then be copied into the speak window and converted to a wave file for playback. Snoopi also told me to specify that some people may think he's out of his mind. The reason behind his request is that he would love for people to be able to use Dectalk on Android. Such a program would enable people who use speech synthesis for communication to communicate in Android via Dectalk.
