I'm a Japanese boy with a sophisticated donkey's ear who is interested in English language, especially its pronunciation variety.

This website's aim is to introduce my invention of "Sound-based Spelling Dictionary" to the children, teachers, students and so on who are related to American spoken English.

It's a Freeware for non-commercial purpose, and I'd like to distribute it to many people over the world.

This original dict. is a public
CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) Pronouncing Dictionary
containing over 125,000 words.
<<I thank/appreciate CMU.>>

Features:
1
. Sound<=>Spelling dictionary.
2
. It's made by HTML file. (about 5MB) Therefore, you can use the standard search function of the web browser.
3. I don't distinguish the similar sound on purpose.
4
. The word is listed by its sound (length order & alphabetically).
So, the file itself is a Glossary
(i.e. has 3 tier structure :
asifsound[=abstract pronunciation] >spelling >pronunciation).
5
. Summing up, This is a grouping technique.



[AsifSound definition] ----Using only ; A,B,D,F,G,H,K,L,N,P,S,T (12 symbols)

A={ x ; x= vowels ,W , Y or all previous combination },
B={ b, v}, D={ d, dg(as bridge), th(as the), z, dz, su(as leisure)}, F={ f}, G={ g}, H={ h}, K={ k}, L={ l, r}, N={ m, n, ng (, nk)}, P={ p}, S={ s, sh, th}, T={ ch, t, th (, ts)} (,W={ w}, Y={ j})
   The spelling ... forgotten/unknown!!
   ---  OK,OK.
This tool is useful
  in such case!!
Comment :
The other day,
One lady pointed out  that
"AsifSound" is near "Soundex" a little.
---  She is great !!
I also think so (i.e. naluheso)
about the classification rule, now.
Do you know
"Soundex" ?
Application:
Find out your own word sequence
corresponding to the number
pi
(3.1415926535..) like as below.
"Let's have a white Christmas
in Hawaii
( Japan Air lines )"
[Here, Hawaii is my humor,
Canada/Alaska is OK, of course]
Tip : In Japan, the most common dictionary's input are phonetic symbols. That symbol is said "KANA", we use it as a letter of usual writing.
We also use the old Chinese style letter "KANJI". In a nutshell, our language culture has multi-letters.
( In KANJI expression, KA= virtual, NA= name, KAN= Chinese old one nation, JI= letter. And KANA has 2 styles, one was for men, the other was for women. )
Long long ago, China and Korea were big our teachers, and even now.

GAME (Q&A):
Q1: Suppose the SET
Sn=(N1,N2,..,Ni,..,Nn) subject to
Ni=Number & All sum=All product.
ex. S3=(1,2,3) [1+2+3=1*2*3]
Please Find general Sn.
A1: This is a heuristic problem.
Sn=(n,2,1,1,...,1) ,Is there else?
S2=(2,2) or (0.5,-1) etc..
Q2: What is the longest word?
A2: "smiles" , How long? One mile+2.
Kenji Miyazawa's answer (He was a Japanese famous poet). Don't forget
smiling in your mind at any time!
Hint1: Q1 is as a matter of fact,
1 variable, n-1 constants
Linear equation problem.
