Thanks for taking the time to critique this - it's only something I put together in a few hours for fun. I'm sure somebody with more skill than me would be able

  This could actually be quite useful for generating stimuli for artificial language learning experiments (used in psychology and linguistics) where you don't want to model longer-distance effects among speech sounds (avoiding correlated queues), and need a 1:1 correspondence between symbols and sounds. Do you have a command line version? One other thought: you could compare the output with espeak (http://espeak.sourceforge.net/ http://espeak.sourceforge.net/) or use espeak to generate IPA transcriptions for various languages.

  This is really cool! Thanks for sharing with us! Is this using parametric synthesis? (It doesn't sound concatenative.) Do you have a background in speech, signal processing, or audio, and is this just a passing interest, or something you want to continue to explore? I've been teaching myself speech algorithms and methods off and on for the past six months ago. Recently I developed a concatenative Donald Trump text to speech engine (I've posted about it in the past), but the samples aren't great and it doesn't use proper unit selection. I'm trying to apply ML to generate a massive set of smooth n-phones that concatenate well together. I'd definitely like to exchange contact info if you're into speech synthesis long term. My info is in my profile. In any case, really cool project! :)
