Some indirect paths:

1. The CMU pronouncing dictionary maps many English words to one or more 
pronunciations. The pronunciations are coded with combinations of ASCII 
characters. Each combination maps to one (sometimes more) IPA symbols.

2. The Festival text-to-speech system uses the CMU pronouncing 
dictionary and other resources to make a best guess at how a word is 
pronounced. Initially, the pronunciation is encoded in the same way as
in the CMU pronouncing dictionary.
Some people have gotten Festival to output these pronunciation codes.

Hope this helps
