    This is not freely available in the public domain but nonetheless I hope
    might be of interest. The "English Pronouncing Dictionary" which contains
    both British and American transcriptions including inflected forms for a
    total of 120,000 word forms. Limited licensing information is available at
    http://dictionary.cambridge.org/researchers.htm - research licences for
    university sites are available for 1250 UK pounds for 3 years.
