About the CMU dictionary

synthesis, as it has mappings from words to their pronunciations in
the ARPAbet phoneme set, a standard for English pronunciation. The
current phoneme set contains 39 phonemes, vowels carry a lexical
stress marker:
-
0 — No stress
1 — Primary stress
2 — Secondary stress
nothing will be returned. This also applies to items such as numbers; you should spell out what you need.
This tool will try to come up with pronunciations for words not in the dictionary. Please feel free to send word suggestions or point to errors inpronunciation. Bear in mind the language changes over time, in particular novel words may not be in the dictionary; you can make suggestions for ones that seem to be here gor a while.
Phoneme Set
The current phoneme set has 39 phonemes, not counting varia due to lexical stress.
This phoneme (or more accurately, phone) set is based on the ARPAbet symbol set developed
for speech recognition uses.
You can find a description of the ARPAbet on Wikipedia,
as well information on how it relates to the standard IPA symbol set. If you check off the stress box you will get a pronunciation in which vowels are annotated (see above). Stress is difficult to get right and people disagree about it. There are words in the language that differentiate by stress (e.g. PR’OGRESS PROGR’ESS).

Vocabulary level is important because it can save learning time to reach a goal.
Word associations is very effective to vocabulary learning because it helps people to understand words quickly and memorize them effectively.
Sometimes, we don’t know exactly how we sound until we carefully listen to our own voices. So when you’re practicing pronunciation, record yourself and then compare that with the learning material. Get instant feedback from proprietary artificial intelligence technology.
YOLOlang helps you to memorize words in associations (in typical word combinations and phrases), not as isolated words. The ties between words in phrases will help you to remember the word you need.

Pronunciation Dictionary
The «8 in 1 English Dictionary»!
Finding a pronunciation dictionary that is helpful, easy to use and affordable can be difficult.
Most teachers and students are excited by what these resources will «do for them«. But I focus more on what «you can do with these resources«.
So what can you do with a traditional pronunciation dictionary?
Well, -to be honest- not much. You might be able to look up a word, see how the word should be said and maybe see it used in context, but is that really what you want to accomplish?
You probably want…
…to be able correctly pronounce words.
…to hear how words are pronounced.
…to know how to use specific words in context.
…to associate the words with images to help you remember them.
…and to learn words in groups based on phonetic sounds or even by themes.
Now, if you could do all of those things with one dictionary that would be great and thankfully you can; with the 8 in 1 English Dictionary.
If you search for «pronunciation dictionary» in Google, a list of web pages is provided and you will see the creators of this fantastic dictionary.
English Computerized Learning INC. at www.englishlearning.com specializes in creating software and courses that enable learners (like you) to dramatically improve their pronunciation from the comfort of their own homes (and without a teacher).
Until recently, their programs were only available by download or on DVD but there has been an exciting new addition to their product line, especially if you are searching for a program that includes a useful dictionary that is worth your time and energy.
What does the
«8 in 1 English Dictionary» include?
If you would like some basic information about the course then you can visit www.englishlearning.com where they list all the features and tell you what is included.
Today I would like to show you what the course is, give you my initial reactions to the course and demonstrate how to use it.
So, rather than just write my thoughts and reactions, I created the following video to show you them.
In this video I am using the 8-in-1 dictionary for the very first time; so sit back and enjoy!

8 in 1 English Dictionary
Top 5 Reasons Why
I Love the «8 in 1 English Dictionary»
When I review a course I try to look deeper than just at the features. What interests me is what a program or resource enables you to accomplish.
The 8 in 1 English dictionary allows you to:
1) Search words by phonetic sounds that you have trouble with. Using the speech test (included in eEnglish) you can identify sounds that you have difficulty with.
2) Search words by different themes
(clothes, car parts, fruit etc) which makes increasing your vocabulary quick and easy.
3) When learning a new word you can find related words or word combinations that include the word you are learning (computer vs computer programmer).
4) Test your pronunciation without a teacher present. Just record yourself saying the word and then compare your recording to the sample audio provided.
5) Most importantly, it works with many different learning styles. This dictionary includes audio, visual (photos), written and interactive aspects which allows the dictionary to adapt to your specific needs.
So as you can see, this dictionary does so much more than a traditional pronunciation dictionary.
It enables you to improve your vocabulary, pronunciation, listening comprehension and reading skills simultaneously.
If you are looking for a useful, easy and efficient pronunciation dictionary then I highly recommend getting the 8 in 1 English Dictionary!

*In English the consonants l and n often constitute complete syllables by themselves.
**Regional pronunciations of —or— vary.
In pairs such as for, four; horse, hoarse; and morning, mourning, the vowel varies between (ô) and (ō).
In this Dictionary these vowels are represented as follows: for (fôr), four (fôr, fōr); horse (hôrs), hoarse (hôrs, hōrs); and morning (môr′ning), mourning (môr′ning, mōr′-).
Other words for which both forms are shown include more, glory, and borne.
A similar variant occurs in words such as coral, forest, and horrid, where the pronunciation of o before r varies between (ô) and (ŏ).
In these words the (ôr) pronunciation is given first: forest (fôr′ist, fŏr′-).
***The Dictionary uses ⁿ to reflect that the preceding vowel is nasalized.
