By way of another example, in the "tutorials" (not a "user manual")
for my speech synthesizers...

When confined to solely ASCII text, one would traditionally use
symbols like AY EY AW IY IH AA etc for "vowel sounds".  And,
without any training, READers (deliberate emphasis) would almost
always mistake the sounds being referenced.

E.g., "AY" does not represent the "long a" sound in "say" but,
rather, the "long i" sound in "ride" (!)

Abandoning ASCII (by NOT including the descriptive text in the
ASCII source code files), I can use the more correct IPA symbol
for the sound (a sort of ligatured "ai" -- which STILL suggests
a "long a" sound to a naive READer).

Further, adopting a document container that lets me include multimedia
in the presentation means I can let a READer become a LISTENer -- and
play a sound clip of the particular sound being indicated by the grapheme.

[If you've lived in different parts of the country (USA), you'd recognize
that you can't just use words as examples of sounds -- the 'a' in "mash"
is pronounced very differently in different parts of the country; the 'y'
in "my" mimics the 'i' sound in "ride" in some places but sounds like
"mah" in others!]
