[Tlhingan-hol] Audio recordings of Klingon speech?

[David Holt]

I have installed the app, but the text-to-spinach balloon is not appearing on my boQwI' or in the share list. Is there a further step I need to take?

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.)
