Click here to hear me speak the info below 

 

 A panphone is the shortest story having all the sounds of a "phonabet" (total sounds of a language).  To make this story below, I use the converter at truespel.com to convert text to phonemes and then I use my auto-count Excel file to get the data below.   

 

Here is The "Bear" story:

 

"On a path in the woods a big bear wants to pounts on a skrawny Asian monkey which avoided it by climbing high up an orange tree.  Yet showing your ape escape never fails ."

 

Below in ~truespel US accent which allows phonetic analysis

~~Aan u pathh in thu woodz u big bair waants tue pounts aan u skraunee Aezhin munkee wich uvvoided it bie kliemeeng hie up an orinj tree. Yet shoeweeng  yor aep eskkaep  never faelz.~~
