Yes. I agree with French Frank and Anonymous when they say that the voiceless consonants shouldn't be followed by the schwa. "strength" would become something like, "suh-tuh-renth."
Also the example of "4" for the long "o" is, in my opinion, a poor choice - "saw" would be much better. There is much less difference in the way "saw" is pronounced in Oxford, Leeds and Aberdeen than the way "four" is pronounced the length and breadth of the country.

Agree with Anonymous re schwa. I wouldn't use the resource becuse of that. Pity - potentially very useful.

Agree with Anonymous about the shwa after the voiceless consonants. Shopper and shop would be the same using this model.
Would be useful to have a separate group for the voiceless consonants.

There seems to be no way to download this stuff! I've been trying intermittently for a couple of hours! That's a pretty frequent phenomenon with a lot more resources, which produces a great deal of frustration!

Potentially terrific but I was concerned to hear the shwa after the voiceless consonants and nasals. I wouldn't use this with my class because of that.
