⌨ DECtalk Phoneme Translator v1.1c

Text Analysis & Conversion:

Your text is analyzed using one of two engines, then converted to ARPABET phonemes that match DECtalk's phoneme table:

• IPA (CMU Dictionary) — Loads the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary directly from GitHub (~130,000 English words). Converts ARPABET phonemes to IPA. Good coverage for standard English vocabulary.
• NGSpeak (Higher Fidelity) — Loads the eSpeak-NG speech synthesis engine from CDN. More accurate pronunciation with proper stress patterns, handles most English words including names and unusual words.

🎵 Singing Sequencer (Right Panel):

• Duration — How long each phoneme is held (50-1000ms, default: 100ms)
• Pitch — Frequency for each phoneme (65-880 Hz)
• Pitch values display the closest musical note (C3, A4, etc.)
• Use Reset All to restore default values

📤 Send to DECtalk:

• Editable field — The "Phonemes with duration & pitch" field is editable. Change duration/pitch values directly and sliders update automatically.
• Press Space — Send timed phonemes instantly (when not typing in a text field). Great for live tweaking!

Interactive Features:
