So where does the dictionary stand? I would like it to be included in the actual version of Scrabble3D, so have either of you made a decision if it is to be included or just left as a separate download?

Also, I wanted to say thanks to both of you for the quick responses in debugging the problems I was having. Both of you are awesome!

First of all - @Steve:

Header of english-phonetic.dic

Comment=This dictionary is based off of the CMU pronouncing dictionary that is available for use at http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/cmudict. More information https://cmusphinx.svn.sourceforge.net/sv...ADME_FIRST.txt.

In those links, the points at the end of the sentences are included in the links, and the links with the wrong points open web sites that don't exist. Therefore the points have to be excluded from the links - then it works:

PS:
This problem occurs when you open the dic in Notepad++, but it does not occur if you open it in Microsoft Notepad.

fətæɫətiz=fatalities
fətæɫɪtiz=fatalities

fətæɫəti=fatality

æbdəktɪd=abducted
əbdəktɪd=abducted

æbdəktɪŋ=abducting
əbdəktɪŋ=abducting

æbdəkʃən=abduction
əbdəkʃən=abduction


These examples show different pronunciations for the same words. But I'm not sure if these differences are related to American vs. British English or if both pronunciation variants are considered to be correct American pronunciation variants.

Since I have not studied phonetics of the English language, I would be pleased if Steve could give us a comment.

Maybe you could find a better term than "unknown".

Maybe StandardCategory=CMU pronouncing dictionary

But it doesn't matter how you sort characters at the letter set.

I prefer to have the IPA English phonetic letter set sorted according to
english-phonetic.dic
i.e. according to
http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-unicode.htm

[EDIT]

Important! Please see even Help adding a new dictionary


Since there are formatting problems, you cannot Copy & Paste the letter set published on Help adding a new dictionary in the letter set table in Scrabble3D. A lot of errors will occur.
That's why I recommend you to Copy & Paste the letter set from here instead:

ɪ 8 1 ə 7 1 t 6 1 n 5 1 s 5 1 ɫ 4 1 r 4 1 d 4 1 k 4 1 i 3 1 z 3 1 ɝ 3 1 
p 3 1 m 3 1 ɛ 3 1 æ 2 1 b 2 2 ʊ 2 2 e 2 2 a 2 3 ɑ 2 3 ʃ 2 3 ŋ 2 3 f 2 3 
o 2 3 v 2 3 ɔ 2 3 ɡ 2 3 u 1 4 ʒ 1 4 w 1 4 h 1 5 j 1 5 θ 1 8 ð 1 10

But as I said before, I prefer the correct alphabetical order instead of the wrong order applied above.

I've updated my dictionary and I double checked them for IPA correctness. I've also eliminated words that aren't allowed in scrabble (1 letter, proper names), which brings my dictionary to around 50k words. Here's my final version!

Thanks Bussinchen!

Let me know what you decide with Scrabble3D, it appears like the bug you submitted has been fixed, so maybe you could release an updated version?

I'm still working on my letter set to reflect the correct point values and counts to reflect their proper distribution. I'm also fixing up my dictionary, as there were things like proper names in it that I plan on filtering out in the final version.
