Challenge: Speech synthesis

Can the robot pronounce your name?

When the robot tries to pronounce the town of Plymouth, Connecticut, it gets a bit tongue tied because the words aren't pronounced the way they are written.
How could you rewrite these words phonetically to get the robot to say them correctly? (here's one solution if you have trouble)

What sounds are easy or hard for the robot to say using the speech synthesis software that comes with the Finch robot?

• Which of these can the robot say clearly?
  • "She sells sea shells by the sea shore"
  • "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"
  • "Rubber baby buggy bumpers"
• Look up, or invent, your own tongue twisters to challenge the robot with until you find something that the programmers didn't take into consideration when changing the English language into separate sounds to be spoken by the robot.
• Have the robot give a short 1 or 2 sentence speech that includes challenges and is understandable.

("Plimath, Connetticutt") is very close to the actual pronunciation of Plymouth, Connecticut
