Please call Stella
Please call Stella is the name given to a paragraph of text that contains many common English words and practically all English sounds. It is used as a test text for the recording of accents by The Speech Accents Archive[1] and has been used by researchers of speech and accents in English[2][3][4][5][6]. The full text is:
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.
