type in command [:log phone on] abd ur will output them.
also in the files I sent is a user diction tool that you can use to use funny spelling and it will show the phoneme.

>>> Hi, I am trying to write a new song, and one of the words that is part of the lyrics is the word "marry." However, when I try to write it using the phonemes "meh riy", I don't get a good sounding "marry" sound out of it. The problem is it says Meh ree rather than marry, and I can't seem to figure out what the word would be phonetically. The ey sound is less stressed than a normal a, and the ey sound is slightly de emphasized. I tried ey rx iy, as well as eh rr iy, however I can't seem to figure out what it would translate to. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
