[Corpora-List] automated transcription of English words

[Marco Baroni]

Hi everybody.

Does any of you know of a program that, taking English orthographically
transcribed words as input (or word+POS pairs), produces phonetically
transcribed English as output? (American English or British English). Or,
at least, a program that guesses the number of syllables of an input word?

Failing that, does anybody know of any English phonetic dictionary besides
the one that is part of CELEX?

And/or of lists of English spelling-to-pronunciation rules?

Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Marco
