The examples should be of interest to those doing speech synthesis or recognition. I collect the examples so that a naive public isn't so easily fooled by tricksters. For instance the following sound very similar: How to recognize speech. How to wreck a nice beach. I would especially like examples of speech in foreign languages. Please send me mail. Do not post. The contents are stored for anonymous FTP on aurora in pub. I check for duplicates. Please feel free to forward this note to the foreign language group of your choice. --e.n. miya, NASA Ames Research Center, eugene@eos.arc.nasa.gov {uunet,mailrus,most gateways}!ames!eugene
