7# Notes: These tests use the XSAMPA examples given in the pico manual.
8#        The only differences between the manual and the test strings are:
9#        1/ replaced the primary stress character " (double quote) by its dec code "
10#        2/ the XSAMPA "r\" is replaced by "r\\" (the backslash is escaped) otherwise pico says
11#           garbage or the [rrr] sound is pronounced "j" (as a french j)
12#        When a test is marked as "BUG", if possible, the tester will capture an approximate
13#        transcription of what was heard inside [ ].
