Given the arrival of the Speech Library.... Something I played with 30 years 
ago on hypercard.... manually entering phonemes,  to get the computer talk was 
a fascinating thing. Today, with AI all around us, Speech Sythesis is 
"everywhere"  and very advanced,

When we initialize

Do we have gain control of the International Phonetic Alphabet?  English is a 
"creole/polyglot" language, and depending across what language/culture 
"adjacencies"  (English-Tamil, English-French, English-Spanish) that the 
discourse it in, X number of words come into play that are understand, and 
pronounced correctly, but both parties. And the polyglot is increasing monthly! 
I don't know how AI will ever keep up.

Above is background. 

What I want is:  to have "Fred"  (or "Junior" or "Deranaged") pronounce 
"Satchinananda" perfectly.

Or put another way: having access to

com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.Deranged

Does Deranged have command over any combination of phonemes?

I can't imagine we have to start from ground zero on this. Has anyone else done 
work in this area.
