Synthetic speech samples

[Kevin Baker <klb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some of my thrid year students would like to run some categorical speech
experiments.  Are there any synthetic speech files available to download
ffrom the Internet/WWW?  For example, the continuum of /ba/ to /pa/ by
manipulating VOT synthetically.

If there aren't, should there be?  Something like a bank of speech/sound
files would provide a good resource for replicating experiments
internationally.

Best wishes,

Kevin L. Baker
