And... here it is.

So far I've recorded audio only for the "most common" sounds by my
estimate. I've programmed the engine to cough when it can't produce a
sound, so it'll cough quite a lot at this stage if you try to get it
to say arbitrary things, although I believe it is now able to speak
every sentence in the "Beginner's Conversation" section of {boQwI'}
without coughing.
Let me know if you think my (or, um, my Android clone's) pronunciation
is seriously wrong for any input. (It does sound a bit robotic and
choppy, and every syllable is equally stressed unlike what TKD says
the stress pattern should be, but unless I record a lot of audio and
do something a lot more clever than what I'm doing now - which is
basically string audio files together back-to-back - there's not much
I can do to fix that.)
