This is not freely available in the public domain but nonetheless I hope
might be of interest. The "English Pronouncing Dictionary" which contains
both British and American transcriptions including inflected forms for a
total of 120,000 word forms. Limited licensing information is available at
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/researchers.htm - research licences for
university sites are available for 1250 UK pounds for 3 years.
