[Corpora-List] Algorithm for orthography to IPA conversion in German

[Mortem Dei]

I don't know of any algorithm, but you should be able to write one without
much trouble, german spelling is quite exact. There are many books with the
rules for making phonetic transcripts in German, you could take a look
at: Pompino-Marschall,
Bernd. 1995. Einführung in die Phonetik. Berlin etc.: de Gruyter.
