visual reference for the default viseme/phoneme groups? #28

Description

@Fennecai

It is not really possible to create character lip poses for a self-made model that are accurate without a visual reference, and the current descriptions in the default phoneme table do not suffice without extensively cross-referencing the part of the json that is not visible within blender (the actual phonemes.)

Is there a visual reference somewhere? The IPA symbols linked in the default json do not seem to have the complete information, or its obscured in a way I can not understand in a practical manner. For instance, what does "C" mean? its not apparent where its listed in the linked document, and the default description "c d g k r s t x z" does NOT help because some of those letters can be pronounced multiple different ways, like how g can make either "Jerry" sound or a "garry" sound.

If theres no currently existing visual reference, May i propose that the default json's groups section be edited as follows to add more useful descriptions? (disclaimer: these might be not accurate but you get the gist of what im saying anyway probably)

"groups": [
    {
      "name": "A",
      "description": "s**ee**, n**ea**t, m**a**d, f**a**r"
    },
    {
      "name": "L",
      "description": "**l**amb, si**ll**y, fa**ll**"
    },
    {
      "name": "W",
      "description": "**w**inter, flo**w**er, a**h**ead"
    },
    {
      "name": "C",
      "description": "**t**all, **g**ive, **z**ebra, **st**ar"
    },
    {
      "name": "TH",
      "description": "**th**in, **th**ere, brea**th**e"
    },
    {
