Thirty-two real sentences from a Ghanaian English news corpus, each synthesised twice —
standard Kokoro and poto-tts — across all eight voices. Tabs switch voice; each reads a
different four sentences. Underlined words are in the Ghanaian lexicon.

The Kokoro column is standard Kokoro: its own package, its PyTorch weights and misaki
for grapheme-to-phoneme. Not this pipeline with the dictionary removed.

The voices are Kokoro's British speakers, so this is **not** a Ghanaian accent — what
changes is what they say.

Regenerate with `python tools/build_space_audio.py && python tools/build_space.py` in
the repo.
