Moby Pronunciation List

Moby Pronunciation List by Grady Ward is a detailed guide to how words sound, created around the start of the 21st century. It's like a dictionary, but instead of definitions, it gives the phonetic spelling of words using symbols like those in the International Phonetic Alphabet. This book was made especially for people using the Moby (tm) Pronunciator II software on older DOS computers, showing them how to get the software to speak properly. The heart of the book is a massive list of words, each with its pronunciation carefully spelled out, along with tips on how different letters make different sounds, tricky names from other languages, and how a word can sound different depending on how it’s used in a sentence. It highlights the need for correct pronunciation for machines to understand human speech, and even asks readers to help make the book better by sending in their corrections and additions.
