It may be your microphone or such. I tried it with the
microphone built into my laptop and my pronunciation is good
enough that I was invited to be one of the people used as
samples for the speech recognition software (though I was not
able to attend). It went something like:
KCD: Say {qoH}.
ch: qoH.
KCD: No. Not {qo}. {qoH}.
ch: [leaning closer to the microphone, watching the meter.] qoH!
KCD: No. Not {qo}. {qoH}.
ch: qoHHHHHHHHHHHH!
KCD: No. Not {qo}. {qoH}.
ch: qoHna' SoH jay'! toDSaH! yIHeghrup!
I own a newer laptop now...
