Hi,

I understand that. But what are you doing specifically? Are you reading 
something you've written before? Reading something from some other 
source? Making up stuff on the fly, then writing a transcript? What kind 
of material are you using?

The old ModelTalker had you speak 1649 utterances. The first hundred or 
so were complete sentences a person might actually say. Then came a 
bunch of short phrases, some of which used real words, others using 
nonsense words, almost certainly so they could collect different 
instances of the speech sounds. Finally there was a collection of 
complete sentences using real words and proper grammatical structure, 
but not making sense. Examples are, "Afternoons collect the counselor. 
Puppies download a lawn mower. Zits recharge a coconut. A basketball is 
amplifying huskies. A boyfriend shaves an imagination."
