I was brought up to pronounce pretty well although I try to say some new words as I read them. Sadly, I know so many long words but can't say it offline which makes me come across as incompetent in some cases. The two phones sound like a im

I don't really have any close contacts or any friends remotely interested in joining my ambitious pursuits short of we'll try it out when you're done. I don't know sign language though. That's an interesting idea to have ASL to speech apps
