Hi Don,

thanks for the submission.

It works great in the VoxForge validation process ... though I had to clean up some files (the automated scripts expect txt files for the prompts, readme and license files).

However, "Comma Gets a Cure" is still covered under copyright, and since your recording of it is a derivative work, we need these last 6 lines to be included with your submission: 

cc-34 Comma Gets a Cure and derivative works may be used freely for any purpose
cc-35 without special permission provided the present sentence
cc-36 and the following copyright notification accompany the passage in print,
cc-37 if reproduced in print, and in audio format in the case of a sound recording:
cc-38 Copyright 2000 Douglas N. Honorof, Jill McCullough & Barbara Somerville.
cc-39 All rights reserved.
Please record these lines and add them to the revised submission I have attached to this post.  Tha way I can include them in the VoxForge corpus, and incorporate them into the VF acoustic model.
 
thanks,
 
Ken

Notice: many prompts in "English Speech Files" were adapted from the prompt files contained in the CMU_ARCTIC speech synthesis database, which were in turn derived from out-of-copyright texts from Project Gutenberg, by the FestVox project at the Language Technologies Institute at Carnegie Mellon University.
