[Ldsoss] lds-scriptures v3.0 release candidate 1

[Troy Bowman]

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:
