I have a database that I will try. This is from an actual
dictionary, and contains some words that may not be desired (I can
see "'id al-fitr", which may not be a super-popular one). 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.<br>

easy for me to write such a program, but I
should first ascertain how you would like it done. I
assume that either you
would just like me to insert a word into the speak
window? 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.<br>

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.<u5:p></u5:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
