About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

CMUdict

The Carnegie Mellon Pronouncing Dictionary.

The Carnegie Mellon University Pronouncing Dictionary (CMUDict), created by the Speech Group in the School of Computer Science at CMU, is "an open-source machine-readable pronunciation dictionary for North American English that contains over 134,000 words".

Installation

To use as a general utility, install the CLI package globally

npm install -g @stdlib/datasets-cmudict-cli

Usage

Usage: cmudict [options]

Options:

  -h,    --help                Print this message.
  -V,    --version             Print the package version.
         --data name           Dataset name: dict, phones, symbols, vp.
