How to synthesize custom words (Excluding HL1 VOX)

You can create a custom word by writing a sequence of phonemes (39 phonemes defined by CMU Pronouncing Dictionary) each separated by a whitespace and encapsulated with square brackets, e.g. "[F AE K T AO R IY OW] is pretty neat" would pronounce the sentence: "Factorio is pretty neat".

The 39 phonemes supported are:

AA, AE, AH, AO, AW, AY, B, CH, D, DH, EH, ER, EY, F, G, HH, IH, IY, JH, K, L, M, N, NG, OW, OY, P, R, S, SH, T, TH, UH, UW, V, W, Y, Z, ZH
