Abstract
We present a web-based tool for generating and editing pronunciation lexicons in
multiple languages. The tool is implemented as a web application on Google App
Engine and can be accessed remotely from a web browser. The client application
displays to users a textual prompt and interface that reconfigures based on
language and task. It lets users generate pronunciations via constrained phoneme
selection, which allows users with no special training to provide phonemic
transcriptions efficiently and accurately.
