Vox Ars1.0 is now out. Like previous versions this one analyses 151.9756838905775 audio frames per second and provides a phonetic notation (as well as other measurements) for each and every one of these frames.

- Iterated phone notations are collapsed.
- Subscript number are used to represent such iterations.
- Audio frames with background sounds are notated as collapsed

Books are relatively short (approximately 40,000 words) and combine scholarly insight with compelling storytelling. Please email wwei21@cougarnet.uh.edu for more information
My library will be going to the National Library of Vanuatu.
Thanks to all who expressed interest.
