Here is another English based phonetic key.  This one for the Bible.  A lot of good work here.

http://www.betterdaysarecoming.com/bible/pronunciation.html


The notation is what I call a capdash-spell type, where the syllables are separated by dashes and the stressed syllable is all caps (some dash-spells leave off the caps thus not showing stressed syllables; not as good)

If you click on the "paragraph" icons they take you to talking dictionaires where you can hear the words by clicking on speaker icons and see other phonetic notations for m-w.com and dictionary.com.

Dictionary.com shows What they call "spelled" pronunciation and also IPA.
So all kinds of keys are shown.  Most have no schwas (using "uh" for schwa is way wrong, e.g., lin-uhn for "linen" ~linin), but might pass in some dialects.
