Here's something I found in the comp.speech FAQ, which might help: * Some basic data. The following ftp sites have samples of English phonemes (American accent I believe) in Sun audio format files. See Question 1.8 for information on audio file formats. ftp://sounds.sdsu.edu/.1/phonemes: This ftp site appears to be obsolete. Does anyone know a new address? ftp://phloem.uoregon.edu/pub/Sun4/lib/phonemes: There appears to be some config problem with this ftp server. ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/multimedia/sun-sounds/phonemes Of course, you could always make your own by editing some samples.
