Kinesthetic_English-IPA_Vowel_Wheel_Sounds.ogg‎ (Ogg Vorbis sound file, length 9.6s, 326kbps)

[edit] Summary

English vowels from the Kinesthetic English-IPA Vowel Wheel pronounced within the following words: eye, apple, get, eight, it, eat, boot, foot, o, ought, are, up. The vowels within these words are the following:

word	vowel
eye	aɪ
apple	æ, ə
get	ɛ
eight	eɪ
it	ɪ
eat	i
boot	u
foot	ʊ
o	oʊ
ought	ɔ
are	ɑ
up	ʌ

The words were synthesized with TextAloud.

[edit] How the file was created

The Windows application TextAloud read to a WAV file.
The WAV file was opened with Sound Recorder and slowed down eight times (8x) before saving the slowed down version with another name.
The file from the last step was converted to OGG using the Smart WAV Converter application.
Ironically, I listen to the OGG file using MPlayer OS X on a Mac.
