All entries that occur solely in copyrighted sources, like the Dragon dictionary, are not currently included in this dictionary. If you have words and transcriptions that you would like included in this unrestricted resource, please send them to Robert L. Weide (weide@cs. cmu.edu) and we will consider them for an upcoming version.

All of the above sources were preprocessed and the transcriptions in the current cmudict.0.1 were selected from the transcriptions in the sources or a combination thereof. We have removed some potentially unreliable transcriptions from this dictionary, including those based on only one source, and will reintroduce them once we have verified the transcriptions.

CMU does not guarantee the accuracy of this dictionary, nor its suitablity for any specific purpose. In fact, we expect a number of errors, omissions and inconsistencies to remain in the current result. We intend to continually update the dictionary as we make progress in correcting them. We will make subsequent versions available via anonymous ftp, and those who would like notification when updated versions are available should send email to [email protected].

We welcome input from users: send e-mail to Robert L. Weide (weide@cs. cmu.edu) for comments and suggestions on the content of the dictionary, or to Peter Jansen ([email protected]) for questions regarding the combination process.
