Phonetic Transcription Tool
This tool gives the American English phonetic transcription of any string. It uses an HMM model to either generate a most likely phonetic transcription, or if a phonetic transcription is provided, it can perform forced alignment. So, it gives a reasonable pronounciation for out-of-dictionary words, or partially pronounced words.

Perl scripts for parallel processing of HTK commands
Perl scripts for parallel processing of four HTK commands (HCopy, HERest, HVite, and HResults) are available.
1. HCopy.pl
2. HERest.pl
3. HVite.pl
4. HResults.pl
Those scripts use the SGE (Sun Grid Engine) for job queuing.
Detailed information about the above Perl scripts can be found here.
