You might(i think), start with a list filled with dozens of thousands of words, then associate those words with dozens of thousands sounds spelling every word.
It should work…

Or you could make a much smaller list of phonetic sounds and then use those

Yep, you give the guy a database with such phonetic sounds and a AI able to distingish every possible phonetic sound in every possible word.
Come on…
This is Scratch!

Balabolka, free TTS soft
To replicate this could be a interesting, and quite hard, challenge for advanced Scratchers.

No, I meant record yourself saying each sound and then create a custom block to play sounds based on that

Like this:

defineTTSinputsetfooto1repeatlengthofinputplaysoundletterinputoffoountildonechangefooby1

and then input the phonetics for the sentence you want (for example: hə-ˈlō)

Hi, it does mean that you succeed with?
Do you have a project capable of pronouncing any text reasonably well, that doesn't sound like a GPS?

Edit: i must say that my GPS is quite old… also it talks in Spanish, An ACTEA GPS device.

No, but I was only saying it was possible and not that it would work well.
