The trick is that it's more tedious than anything else. Getting through roughly half of the phoneme recording takes about two hours, so you might want to grab some coffee to stay awake while recording yourself. Skype blows goat testacles, everybody. At 10:38 PM 8/15/2006, you wrote: wow, is

It could be your accent; the speech recognition engine only works with American English for now. I know Andre had to really accentuate his phonemes to get the software to accept them. By the way, if anyone cares, the archive where I play with my own model talker voice is from May 6, 2006. GO gr
