It uses nonesense words, so it's orthographically neutral. The CD takes 1 hour to do, 15 minutes instruction, 35 minutes practice, 10 minutes final (spelling 40 spoken nonesense words). Email the final for evaluation. This for now is free, as we are baselining the tool. The English language is now respelled phonetically in truespel (see signature note). The ultimate objective is a simple IPA replacement that can serve as an ita and interlanguage phonetic spelling. I'm a govt worker, so everything is free. The 60k truespel dictionary is available for those interesting in furthering the truespel cause.
