Phonemes

English words come from the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary (125k words); anything it doesn't know falls back to NRL letter-to-sound rules, the approach the old desktop speech engines used. Put raw phonemes in brackets to override: [T AA K IY TH IH NG]. Japanese accepts romaji, hiragana or katakana.
