Arpabet

Arpabet is a phonetic alphabet developed by ARPA as a part of their Speech Understanding Project (1971-1976), as a way to represent phonemes with ASCII characters. It has been used in several speech synthesizers, like SAM for the Commodore 64, Say for the Amiga and TextAssist for the PC. It is also used in the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.
