I thought "well, there's quite a lot of words I need to learn in English", but after seeing 'addess' and 'adventue' I thought "wait, this is not ight".
Fixing it helps, but there are still missing expressions, such as "add up", "a couple", etc.
>there are still missing expressions, such as "add up", "a couple", etc.
Googling "pronounce add up" does not show the google short answer box for me. Aside from that, the heuristic method I used may miss some words since it's not quite clear to me how the naming scheme works in that static stash. The 2024 stash is more straightforward but as I mentioned in readme, it sounds synthetic to me.

One can use it directly in terminal or it can be used as a dependency tool in other scripts similar to the way other UNIX tools are used. For example I use it as a pronunciation player in my dictionary dict-master [1]. It's a shell script too.
Another example (run two times so it uses the cache the second time):
