The letter ‘s’ can be voiced or unvoiced. In the word “passes,” the first ‘s’ sound is unvoiced, the second is voiced. The phonetic symbol for unvoiced ‘s’ is ‘S’ and for voiced ‘s’ is ‘Z’. Of course, you also occasionally have the sound of the ‘s’ in “pleasure, ” which is represented as ‘ZH’. The ‘th’ combination can also be voiced or unvoiced. When voiced, as in “then,” it is represented as ‘DH’. When unvoiced, as in “thought,” use ‘TH’. There are also two kinds of ‘r’ sounds. In the first, the ‘r’ sound actually is the vowel sound (as in “bird”) and we use the symbol ‘ER’ to represent that vowel. In the second, ‘r’ follows another r sound (as in “bared”) and we use the symbol ‘R’ to represent it in that case. -- part contents for card part 1 ----- text ----- Note: all phonetic symbols use capital letters. The SayPhonetic command is very picky about this: if in doubt, run your string through the function LowerToUpper, as in SayPhonetic LowerToUpper("/hay.") -- part contents for card part 2 ----- text ----- Click here to hear “passes, pleasure, then, thought, bird, bared” SayPhonetic "PAE1SIHZ, PLEH1ZHER, DHEH1N, THAO1T, BER1D, BEH1RD."
