The problem of CV English is that it sounds way too choppy, and UTAU doesn't handle very well isolated consonant sounds, specially the unvoiced ones. it's better to work with VC extensions, and the level of work on the notes to make it sound better is fairly smaller, or even none at all. |

I'm already making simple tests here for a possible reclist. But I'd first need to have people to test it, and define the method to something very solid. It would be some sort of "lite" CV VC, if you can get what I mean. |

I'm not sure if this is my American accent coming through, but there is no difference between "or" and "ur" for me, at least in the words you give an example. |

Hm... I don't know how YOU pronounce each of those words... But some extra examples for each one can be: or: more; core; fort ur: poor; alure; azure But, anyways. SoundSpel was deisgned to show the smallest difference as possible regarding regional accents. |

to be fair in some dialects of American English more and poor actually rhyme. (some merger in the evolution of the spoken language) However Alure and Azure definately stand out. (the poor pour merger I think) -- more info -- If you know x-sampa poor at least in my area (or at least in my accent) is pOr which shares the vowel sound with more (mOr\) Edited by KaelemGaen, Oct 18 2011, 11:23 AM.

or: more; core; fort ur: poor; allure; azure @w@ haha... where I come from ALL of those words rhyme... http://soundcloud.com/aleksandryekchekov/ur-and-or xD This is EXACTLY how I say all of those. Maybe allure would be slightly less... exaggerated? |

Hm... I see. I know that there are many mergers and splits that vary among English accents, but the point of using SoundSpel would to only have a base for a VB, and generally, mergers and splits wouldn't affect the VB by itself (unless somehow, a "new" phoneme would be introduced, what's not the case) |
