[Corpora-List] English pronunciation dictionary

[Madiha Ijaz]

Dear all,


couple of days back i put a query regarding transcribing English text into
Urdu and in response received some worthwhile suggestions.

the one on which i am working right now makes use of CMU pronunciation
dictionary and it is working fine but OOV still remain a problem. one
possible solution is to train neural nets or HMM on CMU pronunciation
dictionary which later on can be used to predict pronunciation of  unknown
words. so i wanted to know if any related exercise has been done in this
regard or not?



secondly does any pronunciation dictionary (English) exist that provides
syllabified word transcription instead of just providing transcription or
any tool that syllabifies English text?



regards

Madiha
