Re: IPA Text-to-Speech

text-to-speech program, or something similar. What I mean is, a program that
when you speak, it transcribes what you said using IPA symbols, and if you
write words in the IPA it will speak them to you. I think this type of thing
would be useful in a number of ways, mainly for linguists, but for other
people too. For example, if you wanted you to know you were pronouncing a
word correctly in another language, then you would be able to check if you
said it correctly, because you could see exactly what you said and where you
went wrong, and it would work for every language. (The whole intention of
the IPA, lol). So I was wondering if such a program exists, or if not, is it
possible to make one?"

If anyone is going to create such a program, it would be very nice if
X-Sampa was also an option, so people who can't view IPA properly could
still have access to the program.
