This is pretty neat. I was able to query the database for every verse, and parse it up to get a list of all the words used in the Book of Mormon. I was then able to listen to my Cepstral voice "Allison" read them all and make sure she pronounced it correctly. As I listened for all the words she didn't get right, I wrote a lexicon file to get her to pronounce them correctly. Now when she reads verses of the Book of Mormon, she gets the pronunciation correct. If you aren't familiar with Cepstral voice synthesis (www.cepstral.com) they've made a lot of headway in the voice synthesis technology.
Anyway, if you're interested, here's a lexicon.txt I created for the words that the Cepstral voice didn't already pronounce correctly:

Hi guys,It's been a few years, but I've finally got a much cleaner database dump of the LDS Scriptures ready to push live. I'd like it if someone could take a look at it though before I do a final release, though. As far as I can tell, the actual schema and data rearrangements are all done, and all that's left to do is finish writing up the documentation. That can be tedious and time- consuming, so it'll be a few days, but in the meantime, if you find any bugs, please let me know.I've got db dumps of sqlite 2 & 3, mysql and postgres online right now,available here: http://mdp.nephi.org/download/scriptures/3.0rc1/There's a small ChangeLog in there as well documenting the major changes, whichis mostly just normalization, and a lot of cleanup.Any input is really valuable, especially since once I release this stuff, itpretty much stays that way for a good long time.
