       I put one of these together myself recently. It's just a short perl
    script that looks up all the words in its input in the CMU pronouncing
    dictionary (at "http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict") and
    replaces the word with the phonetic spelling. It's an American
    dictionary, so the results are not how I would say the words at all. (My
    speech is very close to RP.)

       Here is the result of running it on
    "http://www.macchiato.com/main/aisle-bdellium-ctenoid". I had to add a
    few words to the dictionary to make it work. The results for "llama" and
    "von Braun" are what I would expect, but I guess not what the author of
    the alphabet expected.
